6th Annual OKTOBERFEST 2024
September 28, 2023, 1-8 pm
Each year since the 200th Anniversary of St. Paul’s in 2017, an OKTOBERFEST is held on the Church Grounds, in late September. In our fourth year, in coordination with Hofbräuhaus of Cleveland and the help of St. Paul’s parish volunteers, we welcomed an estimated 930 attendees and were able to raise over $9000 for St. Paul’s Outreach and Community activities.
The event features delicious German and Oktoberfest food and drink by Hofbrauhaus Cleveland, great German music by “Donaubschwaben Blaskapelle Cleveland”, as well as Sales items, and a Kid’s Korner with children’s activities and inflatables.
None of this would be possible without the effort of over fifty willing and welcoming parish volunteers. Special thanks go to our Master of Ceremonies, Craft and Basket Team and our Team Leaders: Security, Weingarten, Bier concessions, Admissions, Sales Items, Sign Design, Kid’s Korner and our Parish office staff, as well as the accounting services. Set-up and tear-down was ably manned by a large committee.
Tremendous parish involvement from June to September turns OKTOBERFEST into a event which brings us closer together as a parish and as neighbors. Our next OKTOBERFEST will be on September 28, 2024.
Rain or Shine.
