After being out of commission for a couple of decades, the Bremen Oktoberfest made a comeback last year for the Indiana Bicentennial. The event returns this fall and will run October 6th through the 8th. Bremen Director of Operations Trend Weldy said this year’s festival will be chock-full of fun things to do for individuals of all ages.
Weldy said the festival will run that Friday, Saturday, Sunday in October. They’ll have have a bed race, a long board race and a soap box derby. He said the firemen put up a beer garden to sell brats and hotdogs and beer. There will also be weekend-long entertainment.
According to Weldy, the event costs about $6,000 to put on so they are seeking more local sponsors and vendors to be a part of the community event. Currently approximately 42 food and craft vendors are signed-up and around 60 vendors total can be accepted. Interested individuals can contact the Bremen Town Hall at 574-546-2044.
