Kenmore Oktoberfest returns for a second year—Bigger, Bolder, and more Bavarian than ever

Kenmore Oktoberfest is back for its second annual celebration, bringing an unforgettable mix of Bavarian tradition and Pacific Northwest charm to the heart of Kenmore.

This festival, organized in partnership with the Bothell Kenmore Chamber, local businesses, community members, and the City of Kenmore, invites attendees to raise a stein, embrace the gemütlichkeit (good cheer), and experience the best of Oktoberfest — Kenmore-style!

From September 13-21, 2025, guests can look forward to:

• The incredible Bavarian Beer Garden Band, delivering high-energy, toe-tapping traditional tunes to keep the party going
• Lively beer gardens featuring local and German –styled brews
• Lively sing-alongs, stein-holding competitions, and hammerschlagen
• Fun for all ages with a 5K/10K kickoff run, opening day festivities at Kenmore Air, wiener dog races at The Lodge at Saint Edward, and POP! Shop market.

Jason Parker of Copperworks Distilling is a founding member of the Oktoberfest steering committee.
