HUGE kudos to the amazing volunteers, vendors, businesses, nonprofits, and partners who made the 2nd annual Livingston Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 12th, 2024 a smashing success.

​We'd love your feedback on the event, please take this quick survey.

​

Our favorite part was so many generations and diverse folks all celebrating together; sharing the street with wheelchairs, dogs, bicycles, stollers and revelers (not to mention llamas, live music, kids crafts, limbo, great food, Stein holding contest, pretzel necklaces, vintage horror movies, hot chocolate, oh my!) So many fantastic Barvarian themed outfits, we're thinking costume contest next year, maybe dog costume parade, what else would you like to see added?

​​​​

If you were a partner, business, nonprofit, or vendor, we'd love to hear from you too!
