Get ready for a jam-packed day of fun, food, and German spirit right here in New Albany on October 4 from 12 to 10 p.m. This year, we’re bringing all the festivities to a new location at Rose Run Park! Join us for a celebration of gemütlichkeit (a feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer) that’s perfect for the whole family.
Participate in the FREE Masskrugstemmen (Steinholding Competition). You can also show off your vocal talents in the yodeling competition. Register to compete with the button below.
Traditionally, “Quiet Oktoberfest” keeps the vibe chill with folk tunes and capped sound levels, perfect for families to enjoy entertainment and festivities at reduced sound levels.
Our “Quiet Oktoberfest” hour begins at 1:30 p.m. and features sensory-friendly adjustments:
The carousel will be stationary, allowing kids to explore the horses without the motion.
Log sawing will be paused.
Stage volume will be lowered.
At 2:30 p.m., the volume will increase and all festivities will return to normal.
Kids will have a blast with a variety of engaging activities. They can get up close with friendly farm animals and learn how to make fresh apple cider at the Bring the Farm to You petting zoo and apple cidering station. A full-size carousel will provide classic fun, while face painters and balloon twisters will add a touch of magic. Creative youngsters can decorate their own “gingerbread heart” at the Lebkuchenherzen craft station (using cardboard to avoid allergens), and everyone can enjoy the Stanley Holding Competition, a fun, kid-friendly version of the steinholding challenge!
Calling all German-specific vendors (goods and food) and food vendors of all kinds! We’re looking for enthusiastic participants to bring the spirit of Oktoberfest to life. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase your offerings at our festive celebration!
