8th Annual Oktoberfest in 2026
September 26, 2026
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 seventh year, in coordination with Hofbräuhaus of Cleveland and the help of St. Paul’s parish volunteers, we welcomed over 900 attendees and were able to raise money 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. Join us on Saturday, September 26th for our eighth Oktoberfest!
Rain or Shine.
