Oktoberfest is back at the Folsom Veterans Hall for its 8th annual celebration on Saturday, September 27!

Neighbors gather at the Folsom Veterans Hall for more than just bratwurst and beer, they come together for camaraderie, tradition, and a shared commitment to honoring veterans.

Now in its 8th year, Oktoberfest has become a community staple where laughter fills the hall, steins are raised high, and friends—old and new, connect in the spirit of togetherness. What makes the evening especially meaningful is its purpose: supporting the Marine Corps League Honor Guard and local programs that serve those who have dedicated their lives to serving us.

Behind the music, food, and festive cheer lies a reminder that our community is strongest when we celebrate while giving back. This gathering is proof that fun and purpose can go hand in hand—one plate of bratwurst and one raised glass at a time. 🫡
