OWA Parks and Resort Oktoberfest

Join us October 5th for Oktoberfest featuring German-inspired fun, games and entertainment throughout Downtown OWA.

It's time to suit up in your finest dirndl and lederhosen, Oktoberfest is coming to OWA Parks and Resort! During this day long German inspired event expect the Annual Sister City 5K, interactive team games, and live entertainment featured throughout Downtown OWA!

Foley Sister Cities Commission will host its inaugural "Foley Sisters Cities, 5K Octoberfest Run" on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at OWA Parks and Resort! Starting at 9 am, this fundraiser will assist in raising funds for the student trips and other sister cities' initiatives. Sign up today for one of three different runs, 5K Run, 5K Race/Walk, or the 1 Mile Fun Run. Come and support, run, or walk for a great cause that benefits the community! Link here.

If you are more of a spectator than a game player, check out some of our live entertainment! The Brats, a high-energy polka rock band, will be on the Island Stage starting at 5:30pm.
