Oktoberfest, Hays

Mark your calendars for this annual three-day event every October during Fort Hays State University’s homecoming weekend. The Volga German Societies of Ellis and Rush counties host the festival, which includes a keg tapping plus traditional German food vendors. The Fort Hays Homecoming Community Parade and football game add further festivities. Bring the family for morning events celebrating German culture in a family-friendly area. Prost!
