Talkin’ Ok’fest 2023

If it’s October, you can count on Stacy Jackson talking up the annual event that reflects on Walhalla’s Germanic founding.  Oktoberfest is just two weekends away.  Visitors over the three-day festival can count on many of the mainstays, such as fireworks, carnival rides, and vendors offering arrays of crafts and the like.  Stacy Jackson of the Oktoberfest Committee is a leading organizer.  With 101.7/WGOG NEWS, he shared a lot of what can be expected on Sertoma Field, including the fact that, besides domestic beer and foods, you can find authentic German spirits and cuisine.  You might be hard pressed to find a Walhalla eatery whose fare includes authentic German food, but at Ok’fest you can find brats and other German dishes at a booth operated by a Hendersonville, North Carolina German food restaurateur.  The festival will run Friday through Sunday, October 20-22.
