polka, smiles, laughter, brats

October 1-3, 2021

Join us for Oktoberfest in the Amana Colonies on October 1-3, 2021! Enjoy beer, live music, games, German food, and so much more all through the Colonies during this festival weekend. Make your overnight accommodations now before everyone is booked; check here for lodging options in the Amana Colonies.

Amana Colonies Festhalle

At the official Amana Colonies Oktoberfest Grounds, enjoy Amana Colonies Meat Shop & Smokehouse brats, along with pork trotters, sides, and desserts. We’ll have live music from bands like Barefoot Becky and the Ivanhoe Dutchmen, Alpensterne, Alte Kameraden, and the Colony Folksingers along with beer – lots of beer. We’ll host games during the day on Saturday between bands, and even our annual brat eating competition.

Admission is $10 for a one-day pass and $15 for a two-day pass. Tickets will go on sale for pre-order in September, so keep an eye out for an announcement!

We’ll post our schedule of live music and games soon.

As we get closer to the event, we will update this page with festival information! Stay tuned for details.
