100% of proceeds go to charity.

The 17th Annual Galena Oktoberfest is a German heritage festival 

nestled in historic Galena, Illinois. 


Grab an Ice-Cold Beer and a Bratwurst and make your way to the 

famous Wiener Dog Races. After that, sit back and listen 

to the gentle sound of the Alpen Horns softly playing, 

or throw on your lederhosen and dance to some Polka Music.


Bring the whole family, and head over to the Kinder Area 

to play games and paint some pumpkins. Grab some 

Apple Cider Donuts and a Potosi Root Beer and 

lounge in the shade a while.


Tired of relaxing? Accomplish a feat of strength in the 

Beer Stein Endurance Competition or toss some bags 

in the Cornhole Tournament. 


Whatever you do, just remember...


...at Galena Oktoberfest, whether you win or lose, 


EVERY DOG IS A WIENER!
