Amazing Oktoberfest Event in Rochester Back for 2nd Year

If you are looking for some fun on Saturday, October 1st, a few Rochester, Minnesota businesses are opening up their parking lots and businesses for a huge Oktoberfest event...and everyone is invited!

2nd Annual Oktoberfest is Happening in NE Rochester, Minnesota

I know you've heard of Oktoberfest.  I mean, we live in Minnesota and are super close to Wisconsin where I'm pretty sure Oktoberfest happens year-round.  But, if you missed out on this specific Oktoberfest celebration in NE Rochester last year, you've got another chance to be part of these festivities.

Oktoberfest to Support Suicide Prevention is back for a second year and it is going to be an epic day full of cornhole (or bags...whatever you call it), live bands, a beer tent, a pickleball tournament, and tons of raffle prizes.

Suicide prevention and awareness is close to the heart of Haley Comfort Systems. We are taking action in the hopes of mitigating risk and supporting mental health of our friends, families and neighbors...
Kicking off the day in collaboration with AFSP's Out of the Darkness Walk at Prairie Care Medical raising awareness for suicide prevention.
Following the walk, the event starts back at The Haley Center at noon with The Purple Goat's beer tent, yard games, live bands, raffle drawings, entertainment for the whole family. All money raised will go to organizations supporting suicide prevention. Help us beat last year's fundraising efforts of over $48,000! - Oktoberfest to Support Suicide Prevention Event Page

Rochester On Tap is the next big party in Minnesota

If you love beer, the next party you should be at is Rochester On Tap!  It's just a few weeks away on October 15th in Rochester at the Mayo Civic Center and you'll have a chance to sample over 90 different beers.  I'm not sure if Luke Bryan's beer will be there but it is on my list of things to do today to check.  If you are looking to snap tickets, there are VIP opportunities and some special deals if you buy early at Seize The Deal.
