Prost! Here’s to good times we shared!
The sounds of accordion music filled the air, steins of cold beer waited for the first notes of Ein Prosit, and old friendships were renewed as everyone gathered to Be Bavarian once more. Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest is now looking ahead to 2025! We’ll see you for the 57th annual Bavarian Festival from September 26th – October 18th! Onkel Hans and Tante Frieda are already excited to see you don your Tracht, raise a stein, polka around, and enjoy delicious Bavarian cuisine from our German Clubs and local restaurants! Here’s to good times, good cheer, and being back together again next year. PROST!
