16th ANNUAL ST. BENEDICT OKTOBERFEST CANCELED

We regretfully announce that the 16th Annual St. Benedict Oktoberfest must be canceled due to reasons associated with COVID-19. Current local and state regulations covering festivals like Oktoberfest, as well as our desire to provide a safe environment for our many wonderful guests, volunteers, entertainers, sponsors, and vendors, make hosting an event this year impossible. Our family-friendly, 3-day annual festival has grown tremendously in recent years, welcoming over 40,000 guests each year. Current regulations, however, would limit our Oktoberfest to 250 people and would prohibit many of the unique offerings of our event.

Cancelling St. Benedict Oktoberfest was an incredibly difficult decision as it will have a severe impact on our mission of supporting Catholic education. The needs of the schools, families, and students we support still exist despite our event being canceled. Whereas we cannot welcome you this year with our German food, music, drink, and entertainment, please consider making a contribution HERE in order to permit us to continue our support of Catholic education.

St. Benedict will be hosting Oktoberfest in 2021. As usual, we will be hosting the festival on the third weekend of September. Please mark your calendars for September 17, 18, and 19, 2021 for our annual event!!
