The Oktoberfest fun continues in Junction City, KS this weekend (Friday and Saturday) at their annual Junction City Oktoberfest celebration! This event kicks off on Friday at 4:00 pm with the "tapping of the kegs!" After the beer garden opens the party really starts going.

Saturday morning starts off at 8 am! Breakfast is served and the Volksmarch 5k and 13K will begin at 8:30 am! A day of activities, fun, music and crafts will round out the second day of the Junction City Oktoberfest! Enjoy a variety of performances that will be held on the main stage.
If you are looking for some friendly competition, sign up for a variety of events like best dressed, yodeling, cornhole, or Hammerschlagen competitions which are being held on Friday and Saturday!
