Mt Angel Maifest

Mt Angel Maifest, brought to you from Mt Angel Oktoberfest

More complete details at Mt Angel Maifest.

A new festival from the Mt Angel Oktoberfest Board of Directors, welcoming spring and planting season. The 2023 dates will be May 19-21, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Brewfest format

New in 2023, this festival will be held in the Festhalle/Biergarten and be different from Oktoberfest. There will be food, music and beer! The format will be more of a Brewfest style, with the opportunity to either purchase beer tastes or full 14 oz drafts.

Beer (and other beverages)

We are expecting to have between 30-40 beers, from 15-20 breweries to offer a large selection for tasting.

Music

Chardon Polka Band will be the headliner for the event! An Oktoberfest favorite will be returning from Ohio just to perform at Maifest!

Z-Musikmakers will be there, and another festival favorite…. Festival Brass!

Food!

Checking with our Oktoberfest food vendors for a good selection of tastes. More details to come!

This is an evening for those 21 years and older only.

The doors will open at 6:30 pm, followed by dinner at 7:00 pm. The Gervais Knights of Columbus will server up a full barbeque chicken dinner for all ticket holders.

Music in 2022 will be provided by the Gordanairs. The Gordanairs did a fabulous job for the Kick Off Party in 2019, we are glad to have them back. They will be playing live music for dancing and fun until midnight!

About 8:00 pm there will be an Olympics event with 9 preselected teams competing in this light-hearted event.
