Join Us At OKTOBERFEST 2025!
Saturday - September 13th, 2025
3rd Annual
OKTOBERFEST
River Lakes Civic Arena
Richmond, MN
Here’s just a few OKTOBERFEST Activities
LIVE MUSIC
Live music will fill the arena all afternoon and evening with Tim Jarnot and his Polka Band playing nonstop from 3:00–9:00 PM. Expect lively polkas, waltzes, sing-alongs, and the famous snake dance, keeping the crowd engaged and moving. The Cold Spring Maennerchor will also sing with the band throughout the day and evening.
Between sets, festival-goers can take part in contests such as stein-holding, pretzel-eating, polka dancing, and a Bavarian costume competition. Families will also enjoy kids’ games, outdoor activities, and plenty of opportunities to join in the fun.
GERMAN FOOD & DRINK
Of course, no Oktoberfest would be complete without hearty German food and drink. This year’s menu includes brats with sauerkraut, choice all-beef hamburgers, fresh-cut fries, Bavarian pretzels, strudel, and German potato salad, paired with seven specialty Oktoberfest beers from across Minnesota, along with wine, seltzers, and soda.
Tickets are still available online at csmenschorus.com. Pre-sale packages are the best value: $20 for admission for two, plus two souvenir glasses and two first drinks. General admission at the door is $10, kids 11 and under are free, and ages 12–20 just $5.

But who receives a gift of song, It follows then that he must share..."
Since the fall of 1937, the Cold Spring Maennerchor has been sharing the gift of song.
