Germantown Oktoberfest is a free, non-profit event organized through volunteer efforts from which proceeds are donated to charity. Each year, proceeds are donated to at least one local charity that has successfully worked to improve the lives of those living in our area. Germantown Oktoberfest also provides a venue for local non-profit groups such as the American Legion, Jaycees, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, high school PTSA and booster clubs, teen groups, church organizations, and the Chamber of Commerce to raise funds to support their own community programs. By sponsoring Oktoberfest, you not only directly benefit the selected local charity for that year, but you allow us to host an event at which other local charities raise funds.
Local businesses who want to increase their exposure to the community are the primary sponsors. With so many newcomers in Montgomery County each year, Oktoberfest is one venue in which new people can be made aware of the numerous local resources available to them.
