OKTOBERFEST 2022!!

 We have some MOST EXCELLENT news to share!

You KNEW the 2nd Annual OKTOBERFEST celebration on October 15 at the Gilmore Car Museum would be BIGGER and BETTER than ever, didn’t you!?!

This year, the GCM is really pulling out all the stops!

Instead of the gigantic tent from last year, they are moving vehicles out of the Carriage House (next to the Gilmore Bar) and converting it into a German Beer Hall! You’ll be able to hear the DeutscheMarques Oom-Pah Band even better, and there will be MORE German beer, MORE German wine, MORE German food and we’re adding German root beer for the younger guests (and those who do not choose to imbibe).

And - as if that isn’t enough - we’re increasing the number of cars we’ll send out on a fall color tour and starting earlier, at 9:30 AM. Plus, you’ll be able to pre-register to go on the tour!

The Best Traditional Dressed competition continues and - in addition to awarding German beer steins (filled with German beer) for Gentlemen and Ladies - we adding a beautiful (root) beer stein trophy for the best dressed young person!

Details and additional information on the celebration and pre-registration will follow on our Facebook page, website, and email blasts. So stay tuned!

But be sure to block out Saturday, October 15 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This is going to be FUN!
