Oktoberfest is in its 16th year as an event at the Nampa Civic Center. This event is community focused and brings in a good variety of people throughout the valley.

Demographics for this event: MW 30+ with children, 45+

We see people of all ages and income levels at this event. Attendees come because they love beer, German culture, the sense of community they get from attending this event. Our crowd loves to relax and be entertained.

The event has something for the whole family! We bring in authentic live German music provided by the Boise Valley Edelweiss Band. The ensemble has served the Treasure Valley for over 35 years, specializing in nostalgic Beer Garden Music. We play fun Oktoberfest games during the event and encourage attendees to dress in their best German attire. We serve distinct Oktoberfest beers as well Bavarian foods.

Last year we incorporated an Axe throwing event for the adults and a petting zoo for the kids. Both provided people with more things to do and encouraged them to stay longer.

Attendance fluctuates from year to year but we typically have 700-800 attendees. Our goal is to maintain that attendance this year and contin- ue to grow and build the event.

This is a great event to Sponsor! People are at the event to spend mon- ey, they are excited about the evening and we have a captive audience as they attend the event.

Senior Fair is in its 17th year as an event at the Nampa Civic Center. This event is community focused and brings in a large amount of senior citizens throughout the valley.
Demographics for this event: MW 55+

In 2019 we had 1,500 + attendees at the event. In 2020, in order to pro- tect this demographic from COVID, we took a creative approach with the event and made it a drive thru event with a car hop style option to talk to vendors. Because of the Delta variant we chose to hold on the event until 2022. In 2022, we saw a downturn in attendance, but according to attending vendors—they saw this at other events also. Senior Fair pro- vides the perfect opportunity for senior citizens in the community and their families to go out together, become well informed, take advantage of opportunities, and have fun.

Sponsorship options can include mentions in the press release, branding on advertising, social media post and other marketing that specifically targets this demographic. As of 2021, there are 12,171 seniors in Nampa alone and 71,492 in the Treasure Valley (close surrounding area).

We provide seminars and entertainment throughout the day. Seminar spots are available, let us know if you are interested in teaching one.

This event is FREE to the public.

This years event has a HAWAIIAN THEME . If you have a booth, we would love you to decorate it in the theme and wear costumes to match the theme.
