Two days. One festival.
Endless fun!
Help drive the future of Octoberfest Weekend!
Octoberfest Weekend is more than a festival; it’s a 40+ year tradition that brings the community together and drives economic growth in our region. And we want to keep it that way. By purchasing a UTV raffle ticket, you’re not just entering for a chance to win, you’re helping ensure Octoberfest and License to Cruise remain free, accessible, and thriving for years to come.
A Mile of Fun
- College Avenue
- Downtown Appleton
Octoberfest weekend kicks off with License to Cruise, a classic car show on Friday, September 25th at 3 p.m. Complete with about 400 classic cars, live music and great food, you won’t want to miss one of Appleton’s largest car shows.
Then join us Saturday, September 26th for Appleton’s Octoberfest. Music starts as early as 9 a.m., along with Arts and Crafts and the Family Fun Area. And, don’t forget about all the great food booths; local not-for-profits put in a lot of time and hard work to raise money for their organizations during this one-day event.
We hope to see you Octoberfest Weekend!
No carry-ins allowed. Bars and Wristband Booths are cashless.
Complimentary Michelob Ultra Zero will be available to anyone 21+ who chooses to be a designated driver.
