Braat Eating Contest | 6:30pm Start

The 2024 Oktoberfest is on track to be almost twice the size of 2023! Our second annual Oktoberfest in Downtown Meridian in 2023 was a huge success for all those involved. The event throughout the day recorded an attendance of just over 11,000 people. The vendors that participated last year all remarked on the value of this event. The 2024 Meridian Oktoberfest event is looking to have 18,000 eventgoes this year and we are looking for vendors to participate. There is a committee that will review each application to ensure we are getting the mix of vendors and products that our attendees are looking for this year. This includes a specific need for food vendors to meet our culturally appropriate needs for an authentic Oktoberfest cuisine selection. Consider adding some specials to your menu: Brats, pretzles, schnitzel, strudle, schweinebraten, sourkraut, sauerkraut...hint hint ;-) Vendors will be expected to be set-up and work their vendor location from 10:00 AM till 9:00 PM.
