Get ready to raise your stein and say “Prost!” because Sandpoint Oktoberfest is back for its second annual celebration! Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM at 513 Oak Street in Sandpoint, ID. This event promises to be a fantastic blend of community spirit, local brews, and heartfelt support for a family in need.
A Taste of Tradition
Oktoberfest is known worldwide for its lively atmosphere, delicious food, and an impressive selection of beers. Sandpoint’s version is no exception. Local breweries such as Matchwood, MickDuff’s, Laughing Dog, Utara, and Timber Town will showcase their finest brews, ensuring that there’s something for every palate. You’ll find it here whether you prefer a crisp lager or a rich stout.
But it’s not just about the beer; the festival will also feature a variety of local vendors serving up mouthwatering bites that perfectly complement the drinks. Think pretzels, bratwurst, and other German-inspired delights that will make your taste buds dance with joy.
Community with a Cause
This year’s event has a special twist—it’s not just about having fun; it’s also about giving back. A portion of the proceeds will support a local family facing a tough battle with brain cancer. Dan, a Purple Heart veteran, and his family—Monica, Holden, and Hazel—need our community’s support now more than ever. By attending the festival and enjoying the festivities, you’ll be contributing to their GoFundMe campaign. So you will enjoy great food and drink and be part of something bigger—a community coming together to help one of its own.
