Prost! Raise your stein and celebrate Oktoberfest in the Realm!
The village comes alive with hearty food, flowing drinks, and plenty of friendly competition during our Renaissance take on the great Bavarian celebration. Grab your friends, don your lederhosen or dirndl and prepare for a weekend filled with music, merriment and a little good-natured mayhem.
Put your endurance to the test in the Stein Holding Competition, show off your strength during the Keg Toss or gather a partner for Wife Carrying and the Chicken & Egg Toss. When the competitions are over, there’s still an entire Renaissance village waiting to be explored.
Come thirsty. Come hungry. Come ready to say, Prost!
