20th Anniversary Celebration of Oktoberfest at the Kentlands

Laura Rowles, Neighbor

The City of Gaithersburg and the Kentlands Citizens Assembly present the 20th Anniversary Celebration of Oktoberfest

Amidst horse-drawn wagon rides and pumpkin painting, festival goers can enjoy authentic Bavarian food and beer and lively performances by the Alte Kameraden German Band and Alt-Washingtonia Bavarian dancers on the Main Stage.  Lederhosen and dirndls are optional as Alt-Washingtonia instructs and encourages participation in some of their dances.  Free performances on the outdoor Community Stage will include a variety of local dance and singing groups.

New to the festival this year will be an outdoor wine tasting and a children’s puppet show, held indoors at Kentlands Mansion.  Kids will also enjoy a full day of pony rides, moon bounce, face painting, art projects, and many other activities. Please note that there will be a fee for some activities.
