Galena Oktoberfest - 15th Annual

Looks like this event has already taken place.

,

91 Bouthillier Street, Galena, IL 61036

Galena's annual festival celebrating the German heritage.

Family Fun, Live Polka Music, Wiener Dog Racing, plus German-style Food and Beer, headline this year’s popular event. 

The New Glarus Alphorners play the long wooden horns, which were used for centuries by mountain dwellers in the Alps for music and communication. The Potosi Rolling Bar will be set up next to the wiener dog race track offering the convenience of keeping an eye and ear on the track activities while grabbing some refreshments. Food vendors and drink options will be available. Souvenirs such as posters, t-shirts, and beer mugs will be for sale. Plenty of seating and shade is available for eating and dancing to the music of back-to-back bands.
