SURPRISING STUFF
Downtown Lake Geneva’s Annual Oktoberfest is almost here.
Saturday and Sunday, October 12th and 13th the streets of Lake Geneva will be filled with traditional German festivities. This wonderful event is being held mostly on Broad and Geneva Street. Both roads will be closed and filled with live entertainment, traditional delicious food, a beer garden, vendors, kids, activities, and so much more. The event will start at 11 a.m., with the Ribbon Cutting and a major announcement, and stay open until 9 p.m., Sunday opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. Both days will include the favorite Dachshund and Corgi Races at 12:30 p.m., and the Stein Hosting Competition at 3:30 p.m.
The Oktoberfest is one of Lake Geneva’s biggest events and draws many to the area. Be prepared for heavy traffic and dense crowds all weekend long. To help save some frustration the very convenient shuttle will be running all weekend in twenty-minute intervals. Everyone is encouraged to utilize this service. Parking and shuttle pick-up are available at the Home Depot parking lot on Edwards Boulevard and at the city lot on Sheridan Springs Road next to Serve Pro. Shuttles will drop off at the US Bank on the corner of Center and Geneva Street making anywhere in town accessible by foot. The entire family will have something to enjoy.
