Stay tuned for your 2019 Festmeister to be announced!
What’s a Festmeister, you ask? The Festmeister presides over the Oktoberfest event and appoints a Festscheister to be his sidekick. What’s a Festscheister…kinna speaks for itself, doesn’t it?!
Gates for Oktoberfest cannot open until the Festmeister declares it so!
All Access Oktoberfest Buttons!
Make sure you get your ALL ACCESS Oktoberfest button for only $5 from any St. Peter Ambassador or at the Festgrounds gate!
