What’s new this year? Glad you asked! We are bringing more elements of fun and education to this year’s event, including:

BEER– We will have traditional “biergartens” where you can sample the finest of Oktoberfest brand beers. While there, you can participate in many fun games and activities. In addition to these biergartens, we will have a “Craft Beer” Tent where we will feature specialty brews. In this Craft Beer Tent, we will have a special stage, where local breweries will provide fun and interesting information about their specialty brews.

WINE– new this year, we will have a “Winery” Tent that is dedicated to wine vintners who will feature labels of their signature wines. In this tent, you can sample these specialty wines as well as purchase bottles of your favorite wine. In addition, we will have a special “Winery” stage where the wine vintners will provide fun and interesting information about their specialty wines.

FOOD– We will have a large food area that will feature area restaurants with their specialty chefs on hand to provide small bite size portions of their signature food. There will also be a voting system in place, where festival patrons choose their favorite chef/restaurant, and the one with the most votes receives a special prize to feature in their restaurant throughout the year. In addition, we will have a “Foodie” Stage where local chef’s will provide fun and interesting information about their specialty food items.

Music– on our Main Stage, we will have classic Oktobefest music earlier in the day, followed by popular music as our headlining acts later in the day.

VIP– We have created a wonderful package that will allow you to have a fantastic VIP experience.

Oktoberfest will be held rain or shine.

A portion of the proceeds will go to The Woodlands Rotary Club Foundation raising funds for student scholarships benefitting local students and their families.
