Oktoberfest 2025

Join us on E 2nd St in downtown Chillicothe on Saturday, September 20th from 3p-10p for this year’s 6th annual family friendly Oktoberfest!

Once again Petland will sponsor the much-anticipated Wiener Dog Races in the Majestic courtyard starting at 5pm! We will also provide a Kids Station where we will have face painting, hair braiding and other kid friendly activities. You can dance the night away to local music, enjoy some traditional German food and beer or try your luck at the beer chugging, yodeling or stein holding contest! This event is a State Qualifying Venue for the chance to compete in the Ohio State Championship in stein holding. The winning male and female gain entry into the Ohio State Championship for a chance to win at state level. For a chance to win “best dressed”, come dressed in your best Dirndl, lederhosen, or German garb.

Admission is $5.00/per person or $3.00/per person if wearing German clothing. Proceeds go towards the downtown flowers and the downtown Christmas lights.

See you all on September 20th. Prost! 🍻
