Family fun, live polka music, wiener dog racing, plus German-style food and beer headline this year’s popular event!

Main attractions will be the wiener dog races, polka music and dancing lessons, non-stop live music, and games for adults and children. There’s something for everyone at Galena Oktoberfest. The wiener dog races will follow the raising of the flag by the Galena Fire Department and the singing of the national anthem.
