Oktoberfest in Lynchburg

HAMMERSCHLAGEN // Possibly one of the most fun games you will ever play (at an Oktoberfest). Be the first to get your nail in the log and wear your cow bell with pride!

AXE THROWING // Because, why not?

STEIN HOLDING CONTEST // This is one of the 7 feats of strength and it’s your time to prove you’re worthy!

COSTUME CONTEST // This is an event where you should DRESS UP! Best male and female costumes win fun prizes! Get your lederhosen or dirndl here!

DRINKO PLINKO // If you’re lucky, you’ll win some cool prizes. If you’re unlucky, well, you’ll see.

PAPS CIGAR LOUNGE // Paps Cigar will be setting up their leather chairs and recreating their comfy cigar lounge; offering up the best ci**rs that pair with Sierra Nevada’s line-up of brews.

SIMPLY VANILLA // new for 2020 Simply Vanilla will be serving up some tasty treats!

PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE.

Really, we can’t stress this enough … if you overindulge, leave your car and come back for it the next day. Take an Uber; you’ll make some new friends and keep everyone safe. If you need to, please leave your car overnight in the parking lot and pick it up the next day.

Remember that while this is an all-ages event, you must present a valid ID to attend!

**PLEASE FEST RESPONSIBLY!*

PARKING:

While there is plenty of FREE parking downtown, we recommend carpooling with your buddies. See the map below for FREE parking options.
