Enjoy the sounds and tastes of Baraboo Oktoberfest as this ethnic festival brings bands, beers and games to the Circus World grounds from 3-9 p.m. Saturday, September 20.

Live bands, food trucks, traditional pub contests and local brews will take over the historic site for the afternoon and evening. It’s a perfect fit, as the Ringlings - and so many other circus impresarios – have German roots.

Live music will feature Big Griffy Jim and the Polka Dots as well as our headliner, Electro Retro.

Celebrate the onset of autumn and enjoy that happy feeling Bavarians call Gemutlichkeit!
