ROLL OUT THE BY JAMIE ROSS
It started modestly. To celebrate Canada’s Centennial in 1967, Kitchener’s Concordia Club decided to reach back to its roots and hold an Oktoberfest. The event attracted some 2,500 guests, mainly club members, friends and out-of-town German club representatives, but it was successful enough to encourage them to repeat the event in 1968, this time attracting 4,000 participants. The Kitchener Chamber of Commerce’s Visitors and Convention Bureau had, at the time, been seeking an event to attract tourists to the community. Identifying the opportunity to
share and celebrate the region’s unique German-Canadian heritage, a handful of dedicated volunteers launched the first official Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest on October 14, 1969. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the event, an Oktoberfest that has grown from a weekend affair in one festhalle to a nine-day, internationally known party that attracts 700,000 participants, and involves upwards of 13 festhalles and more than 40

family and cultural events. In fact, it is the world’s largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Munich, Germany and raises $1.5 million each year in support of more than 70 notfor-profit organizations. Owen Lackenbauer was a founding member of the first Oktoberfest event
and remains proud of the festival’s longevity, which he believes is a result of the region’s collaborative spirit, with the entire community enthusiastically backing the event from the beginning. “Festival halls and events are located throughout the region,” says Lackenbauer. “Most bands and entertainers are provided by our German heritage community, and local businesses and municipalities have offered amazing support to the endeavour. I believe its longterm success is also due to the

festival’s unique Bavarian flavour in providing inexpensive fun and entertainment for young and old alike.”
Festival Executive Director Alfred Lowrick points out that Oktoberfest is really an “end of summer celebration,” with people coming from across Ontario and the rest of Canada, from the United States, and as far away as Europe and South America to join the fun.

Beer, bands and Bavarian dancers will fill the festhalles, (German community centres or ‘Feast-Halls’), and while drink and revelry are a big part of the event, there’s plenty to do for families too. One of the most popular draws, the five-kilometre long Thanksgiving Day parade, winds its way through the streets of Kitchener and Waterloo with more than 100 floats and bands and some 150,000 spectators lining the route. There’s also the Willkommen Platz, a pop-up Bavarian Village in downtown Kitchener, open daily with entertainment on the children's stage, as well as activities, souvenirs, food and a beer garden.
