We are proud to partner with Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, a not-for-profit Bavarian festival founded in 1969. Canada’s Greatest Bavarian Festival celebrates German heritage, food, music and festivities and is supported by more than 50 not-for-profit organizations. The festival is operated by eight year-round full-time staff, over 500 volunteers and 1,300 Community and Service Club volunteers that stage the nine-day festival each October promoting a unique German cultural experience. As well as the $22.2M economic benefit the festival gives the local economy during the international festival, over $1.5 million is raised each year by the not-for-profit organizations associated with Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, one of the top three most recognized event brands in Canada.  We are proud to be a community sponsor of the festival and too many events to list, but here are a few; Stein & Dine, Volunteer Golf Tournament, Miss O Contestants Dinner, Miss O Gala Ball, Thanksgiving Day Parade and More.
