Friday, september 20th
6pm | Nora’s Sun and Moon Park
The Chicago Waldorf School Oktoberfest was founded years ago by a group of CWS homebrewers and it quickly became one of our most beloved traditions. It’s an annual showcase of the culinary and brewing talents in our community! There will be brews, homemade pretzels, bratwursts, smoked meats (while they last!), and other German-inspired fare. All of this will take place outside in Nora's Sun and Moon Park, under our traditional Oktoberfest tent, with lights strung throughout the park.
We want to make sure that everyone in the community can attend one of our favorite events of the year, so
We are offering tickets at a variable price from $30 to $500.
All funds raised through ticket sales will benefit the Chicago Waldorf School Community Fund, so we encourage everyone to pay at your highest capacity.
All guests must be 21 years or older at the time of the event. By purchasing Oktoberfest tickets you agree to adhere to the age requirements outlined by the event organizers. Failure to provide necessary identification at the event entrance will result in non-admittance.
All donations are final.
