About this Event
Oktoberfest
Join us as St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church celebrates 65 years of community, faith, and music — gestern . heute . morgen (yesterday . today . tomorrow). Free admission! Founded in 1961 by German-speaking immigrants, our congregation has grown into an open, multicultural gathering place, and we invite everyone to celebrate this milestone with us on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
The day begins at 10:00 with an Open House and Heritage Tours, tracing our history from 1961 to today. Enjoy lunch at the courtyard, with a grill serving bratwurst and veggie options, a soup station, and a community bake table. Throughout the day, families can enjoy a Storybook Walk and craft activities for kids, including a lantern-making session in preparation for Sunday's Light Blessing.
Bratwurst, coffee, cake & beverages available for purchase on site — cash and card accepted.
Everyone is welcome to be part of this celebration.
