The 18th 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 

where children can try their luck with The Great Pumpkin Lift and win free Potosi Root Beer. Grab some 

Apple Cider Donuts and paint some pumpkins or play Big Jenga or Big Connect4 in the shade a while.


Tired of relaxing? Accomplish a feat of strength in the 

Samuel Adams Stein Hoisting Competition.


Whatever you do, just remember...


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