Oktoberfest returning to the Battlefords

Oct 11, 2022 | 11:53 AM

Those looking to enjoy an evening out with friends in the Battlefords will want to attend the upcoming Oktoberfest event.

The fundraiser is being organized by the non-profits Battlefords Agricultural Society and the Rotary Club of The Battlefords.

The Battlefords Agricultural Society’s General Manager Jocelyn Ritchie said this is the first time the event has been held since before the pandemic, so it will be something to look forward to.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” she said. “Come out. Harvest is pretty much done. I guarantee everyone will have a wonderful time.”

Some of the highlights of the event include traditional German food such as bratwurst sausage available for purchase, a special Oktoberfest German beer made by the Armoury Brewing Company, interactive games like keg rolling, music and dancing, and live music from Alberta band The Prairie Dogz.
