Celebration of German culture, food, and music.  Something for the whole family.

Oktoberfest is at the Nampa Civic Center on Friday, September 27, 2024.   Join us for a night of music, games, food and fun!  Oktoberfest has brought the community together to celebrate German tradition for 17 years.

Tickets go on sale in August!  Buy your tickets early!  The first 100 sold are just $7!  If you missed out on the first 100 tickets, that’s ok, the ticket price increases to $10 until September 26^th at 11:59pm.  The day of the event, tickets will be sold at the door until sold out for $12. There’s more!  Beer buffs feel free to be a little extra and get the Prost! Package – it comes with get entrance, a 16 oz glass beer glass, one free drink tokens and an Oktoberfest t-shirt for just $45, a value of $62 (limit of 100 Prost! Packages).  Buy a commemorative beer glass separately for just $15 (limit of 100) at the event.

Genuine live German music is once again provided by the Boise Valley Edelweiss Band.  The band has served the Treasure Valley for over 40 years and specializes in nostalgic Beer Garden Music.  It will be hard to keep yourself from joining in on a German Folk Dance or two.

Our food menu showcases German dishes like Roasted Chicken, Pork Cutlets, Smoked or Grilled German Bratwurst, German Potato Salad, Apple Strudel and more! What makes food even better? When it is paired with distinct Oktoberfest beers.  You’ll be asking for noch zwei Bier!  (two more beers) all night!

Play Oktoberfest game favorites at the Nampa Civic Center like the Brat Shot, Mug Holding Contest, Beer Stein Race and more.   Precision Axe Range will be at the event again this year with their mobile trailer. Come in your best Lederhosen, Dirndl or other traditional German attire and bring your best bier stein to enter our contests – the crowd vote on their favorites.  Get a night out or bring your kids! Kids can join the fun by entering the coloring contest, playing the fun games we will have throughout the event and riding the ponies!
