Test Your Strength

Feeling strong? Join in on the steinholding competition! Steinholding is a traditional Bavarian contest where participants hold a full one-liter beer stein in front of them with a straight arm. The last one standing wins. The national record is 23 minutes and 40 seconds. See if you have what it takes to beat it.

2/5’S PARTY BAND — 1 - 5 p.m.

2/5's Party Band is a small band with a BIG sound. They'll kick off Oktoberfest celebrations with Wisconsin and German polka music, while also mixing in country tunes by Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Bob Gibson, and more. Keep an eye out for a possible guest performance from Capital Brewery's Brewmaster, Tanner, on the harmonica.

Food Foo Dolls — 6 - 10 p.m.

Unlike any other band you’ve ever seen, the Foo Foo Dolls feature five lead singers in an ever-changing high energy all 90’s rock stage show that will bring people to your venue and get them out of their seats. Get ready for some 90s nostalgia and a night of unforgettable entertainment to work for you!
