Genuine live German music is once again provided by the Boise Valley Edelweiss Band. The band has served the Treasure Valley for over 35 years and specializes in nostalgic Beer Garden Music. It will be hard to keep yourself from joining in on a German Folk Dance or two.

Our food menu showcases German dishes like Roasted Chicken, Pork Cutlets, Smoked or Grilled German Bratwurst, German Potato Salad, Apple Strudel and more! What makes food even better? When it is paired with distinct Oktoberfest beers. You’ll be asking for noch zwei Bier! (two more beers) all night!

Precision Axe Range will be at the event again this year with their mobile trailer. Come in your best Lederhosen, Dirndl or other traditional German attire and bring your best bier stein to enter our contests – the crowd vote on their favorites. Get a night out or bring your kids!
