St. Benedict Oktoberfest 2026

2025 will mark our 20th Annual St. Benedict Oktoberfest in Richmond’s Historic Museum District! Now that we annually welcome more than 70,000 guests for our three-day event, it is hard to believe that in 2005 we felt quite blessed when a few hundred people came out to see what we had put together! Each year since we have steadily grown and have become one of the most cherished Richmond events each year! We are so blessed to have wonderful new and repeating sponsors who support our event. We are excited to invite you to be a sponsor at our 20th Annual St. Benedict Oktoberfest!!!!

Authentic German food, festive music, dancing, entertainment, and children’s activities will again be offered, not to mention our wonderful selection of beers and wines, and the great array of vendors in our very own Christkindlmarkt. There is something to please everyone! Our Children’s Area continues to evolve, allowing our youngest of attendees to enjoy Oktoberfest!

In keeping with our tradition, we will again be celebrating Oktoberfest for three days, always starting on the third Friday of September. Our Oktoberfest will be held rain or shine, entry is FREE, and remember all proceeds support Catholic education!

We are once again pleased to welcome Low’n’Brows German Band for our entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights, and Elbe Musikanten Band for our Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions. The Hirschjӓger Bavarian Dancers will be entertaining us again on Sunday afternoon this year. Please make sure to check our website at www.stbenedictoktoberfest.com for updates on entertainment and event offerings as we near Oktoberfest!
