The Muskoka Lakes and Bracebridge Chambers of Commerce are bringing the 5th annual Oktoberfest celebration to Bracebridge from October 23 to 26.
Jaden Hollingshead, Executive Director of the Bracebridge Chamber, said the event is part of the town’s 150th anniversary celebrations and highlights the vibrancy of the fall season.
“The event not only extends the shoulder season but also pays tribute to the area’s German heritage, tracing back to the 1800s with the hamlet of Germania,” said Hollingshead.
Officials noted this four-day regional celebration, supported by Experience Ontario, brings together local breweries, restaurants, Legions, and retailers for music, food, and community cheer.
Some of the event’s attractions include powerhouse speakers, the traditional Tapping of The Keg, and a Kidtoberfest zone.
“Our goal? To extend the high season even longer to support employers and our workforce by giving our seasonal residents a reason to keep their Muskoka homes open longer and drawing more visitors here to discover fall in Muskoka,” said Norah Fountain, Oktoberfest Project Lead and Executive Director of the Muskoka Lakes Chamber.
