Oktoberfest Returns to Marion

Oktoberfest, presented by Sheets Forrest Draper Insurance, returns for the second year and announces a partnership with The Horizons 5K. Both events will be held Saturday, September 16, 2023.

 

Oktoberfest will feature 30 breweries from Iowa and surrounding areas sampling a wide variety of styles. Each brewery will have representatives on hand to visit with and educate fans on their beers. Attendees will also enjoy live music by Lyle Beaver and the Brass Notes and traditional German games of hammerschlagen and stein holding.

 

The event will take place in Uptown Marion with proceeds benefiting the Winter Lights program which helps fund Marion’s community beautification during the holiday season. Oktoberfest will also benefit the Iowa Brewer’s Guild which works to showcase and improve the quality of beer brewed in Iowa and supports the promotion of the local brewing community.

 

General admission tickets are $40 and includes access to breweries beginning at Noon. An exclusive VIP ticket is available for $60 and includes early access to brewers at 11:00 a.m. Tickets are now on sale at marionoktoberfest2023.eventbrite.com. Must be 21 years of age to participate, tickets and IDs will be scanned at the entrance to the event.

 

In addition, the Horizons 5K powered by FSB will be held at 9:30 a.m. and benefits Horizons programs, including Meals on Wheels, NTS (Neighborhood Transportation Service) and Financial Wellness Center. Race participants can receive a complimentary beer with race bib (you must be 21 years of age and have purchased an Oktoberfest ticket to attend). More information available at Horizons 5K Powered by FSB.
