Wilkommen to the 51st Celebration of Oktoberfest
“Gemutlichkeit – Your Friends Are Here!"
The 2011 Oktoberfest theme reflects on the importance of gathering our friends and family in celebration and what better place than the beautiful city of La Crosse during Oktoberfest.
As we begin another 50 years of Oktoberfest traditions, let us not forget the commitment and hard work of our many dedicated volunteers. Our immediate and extended Fest family put many hours into making Oktoberfest a success each and every year.
In celebration this year, take the time to visit both our Northside and Southside Oktoberfest grounds. You will be pleased to find a variety of entertainment, food, and fun for all ages. Don’t forget to bring your family and friends! Join us at all three of our parades and enjoy the “gemutlichkeit” of our La Crosse community. Check out the listings of events included in our brochure and also visit this website OFTEN for a complete and up to date listing of all ticket prices, activities planned for this year, and any changes to our schedule.
Please join us in celebrating another 50 years of Oktoberfest!
“Gemutlichkeit – Your Friends Are Here!"
