Germantown's Oktoberfest is a festival for the community, organized by the community. For the past twenty-five years the Oktoberfest has been one of the heart and soul events for Germantown and the UpCounty community.

The Oktoberfest organizing committee is busily engaged in planning this year's event - contacting local crafters and businesses to show their trade, confirming the live entertainment, securing the kids' games, and lining up the fireworks to end the night! It is truly a festival unlike any other in Germantown.

There's just one more thing Oktoberfest and the community needs right now. You. If you'd like to be part of one of the Upcounty's longest running community events, this is your opportunity. The Oktoberfest committee meets at the Upcounty Regional Service building on the first Wedensday of each month at 7:00pm. Interested Volunteers are always welcome.

No experience is needed! If anyone would like to be a "part of a great Germantown tradition", we need help with the following areas:
