A St. Ben’s Tradition
since 1966!
A celebration of community in the tradition of St. Ben's German Roots!
True to the customs of the Bavarian festival, St. Benedict’s Oktoberfest promises entertainment for the whole family, with music, food, beverages, carnival rides and games!
Save the Date! Cheerful toasts of “Zum Wohl” and shouts of “Prost!” will resonate through the parish courtyard once more as we celebrate our German roots with the 59th Annual Oktoberfest: October 3rd through October 5th of 2025.
Proceeds from the festival benefit local outreach, programming, and fund church operations, restoration and other initiatives.
