Oktober you glad I didn't say fest.... Had a bratwurst and was very disappointed to say the least. If I wanted to wait in lines all day I could have gone to the DMV!!! Someone said the liked me hat tho so that was cool I guess.
It's been over a decade since the last time I was at Mount Angel Oktoberfest. Here are some things I wish I would have known before returning. It's bigger than you think. Literal blocks separate the event areas. There are shuttles to move you between areas, but they are walkable if you like to hoof it. The kiddie area is free! There are small carnival rides that are free for kids under a certain age, but it closes earlier than the rest of the event (I think it was 5pm, but double check that). We got there right at the end and our kids weren't able to ride any rides, but they did get ice cream from a food truck (food not free, sorry) and they enjoyed that very much. Next time we go back, we will hit up this kiddie area first and explore the rest of the event after. The church is spectacular. There are different events in the church throughout the festival. We saw men playing the Alpenhorn and it was Devine (see what I did there?). All you have to do is ask. The alpenhorn group finished their performance and as they were outside packing up, some folks asked for a try. They allowed these guests to try their alpenhorns and it looked so fun! What a cool experience for them! You can't get a drink without being inside the beer halls. There are several halls throughout the main Oktoberfest area. Each have a different name, and different things happening inside and they all look fun. But it's the only place to get a beer or a glass of wine. There is a charge to get in, and you can come and go as you like, but we couldn't find any place that was simply serving up a pint. (There was maybe one hidden tent behind the food vendors, but we didn't get a good look inside - so maybe a bit more exploring would prove this statement wrong). Perhaps this is because of open container / liquor laws, but I heard quite a few people complaining about it. While they may have only wanted 1 beer or a tasting, they would have to buy entrance into a particular area and then battle those crowds. You will battle crowds. There's. A. Lot. Of. People. Of course there's a lot of people! But everyone is in a great mood, and very excited to be there. A very fun, happy, party vibe. If you want to see a special event, like singing or dancing in the town center, get there early for a seat and wait, because space fills up quickly and folks were standing on retaining walls just to catch a peek. Event sponsored souvenirs are less expensive than the real thing. There are plenty of vendors selling high quality trachten for $50 or more, but you can get a souvenir quality hat, pin, etc at a small booth near the clock tower. This was perfect for our kids who desperately wanted a hat, but we didn't want to pay for a handcrafted piece of master workmanship for them to sit on twenty minutes later. Parking is crazy! Just pull into the first parking you find because if you loop around, it's gonna be gone. We found a church selling space in their parking lot and it was a total score. Not only were there people there monitoring the parking area, but they gave us free cookies and they were so nice and super welcoming. I'm so glad we drove the compact car instead of the minivan because spaces can be tight when parking is at a premium. You're going for the food right? Because we were. The food area was not difficult to navigate, but it was hard to choose which to try. We ultimately ended up going with a very large tented area that had a large menu because we could get all of the variety of things our large group wanted by standing in one line instead of running to 3 or 4 different food carts. What we got in convenience, we probably paid for in quality. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't, like, "wow". We got some brats, fries, a soft pretzel with cheese, and drinks. Next time, we will probably take the extra time to visit more than one food vendor because some of the food looked so yummy. So you want to sit while you eat? We sat on the ground under a tree to eat because there were NO seating areas available. There were seating areas present, but they were hopelessly full. After trudging around looking for a spot, and realizing that no one at a table was willing to give up their shaded seats, even after finishing their food, we plopped ourselves onto the pavement. As your weird uncle says, "the ground will hold anybody". We would love to go again, especially with a little more knowledge about the event.
Every year amazing can you think of a better Oktoberfest. Every year we have to come down to Mount Angel for the Oktoberfest it is absolutely iconic and if you're living in the area it's a Moscow don't get me wrong. I love Leavenworth and I love the Germantown there but as far as bang for your buck, big old festivities, Mount Angel will always be the Crown Jewel of this area. We come just about every year and I never disappointed with all of the little activities for adults or kids throwing together such a great time to find community and have fun doing so. Little upset we didn't get to see the wiener dog races like we did last year , but we still have lots of fun, especially for the kids in the Kidzone, which is always off the hook and always absolutely free Such a great time for the whole family I couldn't imagine not coming very grateful for everything this community go through every year have all of us come down there and have fun
I am completely amazed by the grandeur of Mount Angel Oktoberfest! The little town of Mount Angel produces a remarkably large scale production with multiple beer gardens, each including their own entertainment. Though I've lived in the Portland area most of my life, today was my first time attending this impressive festival. Everyone seems to get into the spirit of Oktoberfest with festive costumes, fun games, countless exhibits and vendors, and entertainers everywhere you look. My favorite act was a hipster polka band from Ohio who performed in the Weingarten on Thursday night. They were so much fun, the crowd really got into the spirit by dancing and raising glasses in high energy. I was disappointed the Kindergarten wasn't available Thursday evening, and most of the famous activities like yodeling contests and wiener dog races occur only on the weekend. Oh, well! That gives me something to look forward to next year! There were more than enough activities to keep me occupied this time around. Be prepared for a large crowd, and long times for food vendors. The $15 garden pass is a must as it allows you somewhere to relax and enjoy the entertainment while you eat your meal and sample the many beer options available. Also, splurge if you can and pay for parking. It's nearly impossible to find free and convenient parking nearby.
My wife and I look forward to Mount Angel's Oktoberfest every year, despite neither of us being big beer guzzlers. Although, as our friends can attest, with our regular trips here, as well as Leavenworth, WA, there must be some Bavarian blood in our veins somewhere! In the "off-season", Mount Angel is a sleepy, out of the way village with rich heritage: it is the site of a Benedictine abbey/monastery/seminary, a gorgeous Catholic cathedral, an enchanting Glockenspiel, and several other callbacks to its European roots. But during the festival months (mid-September, as well as Volksfest in the spring), the town swells by an order of magnitude, as myriad tourists from all over the region pour in, and myriad mugs and steins are poured into as well. For four days, the town churns and seethes with activity, steadily bubbling up and filling every beer garden, event hall and patio, becoming a frothing mass of humanity that eventually spills over into side street and alley. Friday and Saturday nights become a madhouse of drunken singing, chicken dances, accordions, keytars, polka, and endless cries of "Prosst!" from every corner of the village! There are five major event spaces: the Biergarten, Weingarten, Alpinegarten, Hopgarten and Prostgarten, scattered throughout the handful of blocks where the Oktoberfestivities take place. Along the way, you'll find food carts offering a variety of traditional Bavarian festival foods, as well as some decidedly non-traditional options. You'll also encounter several artisan tents, purveying anything from street stall standards such as beef jerky and hot sauce, to handmade clothing, jewelry, flowers, candy, arts and crafts, and a whole lot more. Additionally, a handful of year-round shops and restaurants based in Mount Angel do the heavy lifting when it comes to the offering Oktoberfest essentials: Mount Angel Sausage Co, Touch of Bavaria, Angel Mountain Christmas, and the always exceptional (and recently revived from the dead) Glockenspiel restaurant! If you need a bratwurst, a dirndl, and/or some ornaments for the holiday season now looming on the horizon, these should be your erste wahl! Everyone says parking can be a nightmare, but I found a spot a couple blocks north of St. Mary's Cathedral, less than a 5 minute walk from town square, and even left to visit the Abbey for a few hours, returning and reclaiming the exact same spot, so I don't know what people are complaining about. Ein Prosit! to one of the best annual events in the PNW! Not only do you get some serious bang for your buck. A $20 all-day wristband (for Saturday; other days are cheaper; an all-weekend pass is also available) gets you access to all the aforementioned event venues and most of the provided live music, but honestly, there's plenty enough to do without it. Even so, I'd still recommend it, because events like Oktoberfest are all about community and brotherhood: something that has suffered greatly in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Celebrations like this have been sorely missed, and should be cherished and enjoyed by all, more than ever before. So vaxx up, mask up, and raise a pint to your family, your friends, your neighbors, your community, your country, and your heritage...Bavarian or otherwise! Prosst!
It's the food people. The different taste the different ways food is prepared. The endless flavors available. There seems to be everything from breakfast to snacks to lunch to dinner. You can tell which ones are good because they have a line. Well every food cart at this festival had a line. Not just because of the crowds of people because everyone had good food. Something unique and something the same at a lot of them. Sausage and sauerkraut are everywhere. Then there are little treasures like donuts and cakes, cookies, drinks from frozen to sno cones to freshly squeezed. Tacos, to corn to schnitzel pierogi's and more. Sure there are arts and crafts and beer tents all around a huge area. You walk around and take it all in. It's a cornucopia of stimulation for the senses. Worth the time and the walk to see it all. Plan on walking. The cost to get into the halls and gardens has risen significantly since I was last there. Pay 20 just to get in and there is not always a band playing. I don't know if that is worth it to pay them 10 for a beer. Just my take.
It's cute little town, with 3 unique churches, very close to each other. I like the Abbey a little more with it's location on a hill, scenic view, peace, serenity. The sleepy hollow comes to life in Oktoberfest.
awesome little German town in Oregon for Oktoberfest. great beers, food, and music. There are so many bands, vendors, and food to choose from. And if your a beer or wine fan, they have so many selections around the event. Oh try to make it to the Olympics. :)
Had the time of my life at Oktoberfest this past weekend! Drank tons of beer, ate my body weight in soft pretzels, enjoyed some bbq chicken and had a classic German bratwurst. Definitely recommend watching the wiener dog race that was an absolute blast. I paid $20 for a single day ticket and that'll get you into the main venue halls with all the live music and beers on tap. Keep in mind you'll still have to pay for all the beer and food on top of the ticket price. There were tons of vendors to browse and a plethora of additional beer gardens sprinkled throughout. Also make sure you bring cash! A lot of the vendors were having issues with their card readers. The town of Mt Angel really goes all out for Oktoberfest. I definitely plan on going every year!
I've never been to an Oktoberfest celebration before so I don't have a point of reference, but I did have a whole lot of fun at Mount Angels Oktoberfest. My friends and I showed up on Saturday around 1 PM. We tent camped in a field near the Biergarten. It was a pretty basic set up. Just a big lot with a lot of flagged spots. We had plenty of room for the car and three tents. They had a couple portapotties and a hand washing station. What they didn't have was water which was a running theme for the event. We pitched our tents and headed for the event. Mount Angel Oktoberfest is a lot like a big street fair. The town center is roped off and is full of stalls selling all sorts of food. Some of it was German food like sausages, schnitzel, and strudel, but some of it was just faire food like funnel cake, elephant ears, and a wide assortment of deep fried junk food. There were also lots of stalls selling knick knacks like steins, lederhosen, puppets, and glass blown right before your eyes. However the Gartens were where all the action was. We saw several German themed bands but after a few hours all the accordions, alpine horns, and renditions of the chicken dance all started to blur together. Although it was really easy to get beer, never had to wait longer than a few minutes, it was really difficult to find water. I had my own bottle but I only found one fountain at the entire event to fill it up. Some beer stations filled it for me, but others just refused even though they had big water jugs right there. With the heat and excessive drinking, the lack of fountains seems like a real liability. I also wish there were more German beers. There were only two or three German breweries actually represented. The rest were just German style beers from big name breweries like Laurelhurst, Wiedmer, and Becks. Don't forget to bring cash as very few places took cards at the event. Also don't forget, it's a marathon not a sprint.

Mt Angel Oktoberfest is a yearly event full of celebration for the harvest, as well as a 3 day celebration of the first Oktoberfest held in Munich in 1810 celebrating the marriage of King Ludwig of Bavaria. It also is a celebration of beer. This event draws thousands of visitors. This event also draws religious visitors to St. Mary's Catholic Church built in 1910, and the Mt Angel Abbey that was founded in 1882. The festival is a huge event for Mt Angel as it also draws in a lot of vendors selling handmade goods, foods and drink. There is a pavilion playing traditional German music as well as a Maypole Dance done by youngsters in full German regalia such as Lederhosen for men and Dirndl Kleid for the women. There are also car shows and military vehicles on display, a large playground area with carnival type rides for the children. Parking is difficult to find, but somehow we always manage to find a spot on the side streets or just pay to park in one of the nearby fields. There is also a free tractor pulled shuttle wagon that makes continuous rounds from the festivities up to the abbey and back. As always, the brats, corn on the cob, elephant ears.... Delicious! read more

This was my first town-sponsored Oktoberfest and first trip to Mt. Angel. It was a hot weekend at a dusty campsite, but the festival made it well worth it. The town has some parts with Bavarian styled buildings but I was honestly surprised I didn't see more. I guess I was under the impression the theme was much broader. The town square area was pretty great though. There were several gartens set up across the town, each with its own live music, beer variety and slightly different themes. The music plays throughout the day and night for the entire festival. They even have a kindergarten with children's shows. There are tons of food vendors lining the streets severing authentic fare like bratwurst and schnitzel as well as less authentic but still delicious items like onion rings, fried Oreos, and funnel cakes. I ate a little bit of everything until my pockets were empty. There are many beers to choose from. Each brewery of course has it's own Oktoberfest brew. You can purchase tokens at each garten to buy beer and sometimes food. Many spots take cash as well. Finding water isn't always easy. You may have to resort to purchasing bottles, but occasionally they'll pour you a beer and fill your water bottle at the same time. Make sure you drink lots of it so that you can try more beers throughout the day. Go drink, eat, dance, and sing your heart out. You'll definitely have a great time! read more

Every harvest season in Hop Country (e.g. Silverton/Mt. Angel) there is a celebration, a celebration that is probably best where it originated in Munich Germany. However, we all can't just jet off to Europe, well we could actually except the exchange rate on the Euro sucks so bad right now that we just can't afford right now. So in comes Mt. Angel Oregon, a mini Bavarian Hop farming town in the Willamette valley. They host "O'fest" every year for all to join in the celebration of the Hop harvest by drinking, eating and dancing. It's all about having fun. My favorite part of O'fest is the 5K/10K fun run they have through town and past some beautiful farm land. There is more fun to be had there than I can describe to you here so you'll just have to go yourself and experience it. Cheers and Prost! read more
