2026 Oktoberfest in Pella!
We’re topping off this year’s Fab Foodie Friday live music series with our second annual spectacular Oktoberfest celebration. What’s new? The fun begins at 1:00 p.m. – This year, we want to make it even bigger, even more gemütlich.
October 10, 2026
1-10 pm
Klokkenspel Plaza
(on Franklin Street in downtown Pella)
Bring your family and friends and enjoy traditional Oktoberfest street foods, refreshing specialty beers, and root beers.
Every beer, root beer, brat, schnitzel, and pretzel sold will help Spirit of Pella create more magic for our community.
10% of everything you spend on food and drink at Oktoberfest will help us turn the ordinary into the extraordinary by funding more vibrant downtown art, dazzling holiday lights, and unforgettable experiences like Fab Foodie Fridays, Oktoberfest, and a warming hut and Zamboni for Caldwell Park that will make ice skating available to Pella residents up to four months every year!
We’d love to have you at the table. Will you join us for a brief meeting to explore how your organization can partner with us as an Oktoberfest sponsor?
Our sponsorship opportunities are designed to put your brand front and center in the community — from supporting lively Bavarian music and traditional games like Fassrollen and Hammerschlagen to sponsoring commemorative steins and family-friendly experiences. We can tailor a package to fit your audience, goals, and budget so that your support feels like the perfect Ein Prosit for both your business and our community. Contact us today.
