Throwback to 2004 when we celebrated our 8th Annual Oktoberfest! Boy, has our event grown since then!

Come join us on Saturday, September 26, starting at 4:30 PM at 1234 Kentucky St., to help us celebrate our 40th annual Oktoberfest! Live Polka music, dancing, sing-alongs, and tons of fun. Menu includes schnitzel, b**r, rocks, bratwurst, hotdog, cabbage rolls, sauerkraut, German potato salad, and a selection of German style b**rs. Prost!

With b**r, brats and polka music Saturday night, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church's annual Oktoberfest brought a little bit of Germany to Lawrence.Roughly 2,000 people attended the eighth-annual installment of the event, which has evolved considerably from its humble origins.
