Fredericksburg’s Oktoberfest just made national news—ranked No. 5 in the Top 10 Oktoberfests in the U.S. by USA Today’s 10Best! This year marks the 45th anniversary of the festival, and I’m thrilled to be hosting the High Striker Contest again. From steins and polka to family fun and a Champion’s Bell-Ringing showdown, Oktoberfest (Oct 3–5, 2025) is one of the biggest weekends of the year in Fredericksburg.
