Whidbey Island Oktoberfest to fundraise for Saratoga Orchestra

Oktoberfest is returning to Greenbank Farm on Whidbey Island on Oct. 3, serving as a major fundraiser for the Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island. The event, running from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., aims to support the orchestra’s operational costs and annual performances.

Activities include a wiener dog race, which was introduced in 2025, and traditional German games such as masskrugstemmen (a stein lifting competition) and biermarionette. Musical entertainment will feature the Oompah-sters, the Puget Sound Alphorns, and the duo Eileen and Rick Webber.

Attendees can sample imported Munich beers alongside local offerings from Wicked Teuton Brewing Company and Misfit Island Cider Company. Food options include bratwurst, sausages, and Bavarian pizza.
