Oktoberfest Coming Fast!


Looks like Fall and St. John’s Oktoberfest will arrive together! The 17th Annual Oktoberfest will begin on Friday, October 5th at 6 p.m. The ‘Jones Boys’ from Seaford will kick off the festivities this year!

Dancing to the music of the Jones Boys is sure to work up an appetite. You won’t go hungry because the ever popular Oktoberfest International food court will be serving up their traditional German entrees, along with Italian, Spanish, Polish, Filipino and American Cuisine. Sounds like something to satisfy everyone’s taste and mostly all “homemade”.

Returning to Milford on Saturday afternoon will be the internationally famous, Joe Kroboth German Orchestra, who started at the very first Oktoberfest in 1989.

On Saturday, festivities begin at 10:00 a.m. with helicopter rides and entertainment to carry you through the entire day. There will be many games, horse rides, and a petting zoo for the children.

Entertainment will run through the day on Saturday. Three major highlights will be the Enzian Folk Group (German dancers) from Reading, Pennsylvania, the Milford Community Band and “Pink Grass”, an all female group playing Blue Grass Music. Everyone’s favorite, The Honey Combs will take center stage to wrap up the weekend festivities.

Mark your calendar for the 17th Annual Oktoberfest Weekend: October 5th and 6th at St. John’s Church located on the corner of Seabury Avenue and School Place in Milford. For more information call 422-5123, ext. 13.
