Put on your favorite lederhosen and dirndls and get ready to be immersed in German culture at the first ever West Tennessee Oktoberfest, Saturday, October 23 at St. Mary's Catholic Church & School, 1665 US HWY 45 By-Pass.

Oktoberfest will kick-off at 3 pm with family-oriented activities and music throughout the afternoon. Around 6pm, the event will shift to a more traditional German style festival with a craft beer contest for home brewers and a band that will start at 7pm. The event will feature, a beer garden of craft beers, brats, pretzels, two bands, children's activities in the afternoon, craft vendors, a VIP tent and dining hall tent. Food is available for purchase at the event, VIP ticket holders receive a complimentary meal. There will be German inspired games as well.

Attendees (age 21+) get a taste of the various craft brews offered. They can then purchase a full-size portion of their favorite brew which serves as a vote for that beer. The vendor receiving the most votes will be crowned the Oktoberfest BrewKing.

This event is to support Catholic education in West Tennessee, with St. Mary's School and Sacred Heart of Jesus High School benefitting from the proceeds. Established in 1878, St. Mary's has always prided itself on its authentically Catholic education in the Dominican tradition. The school offers an education that benefits the whole child - mind, body, and spirit. With its classical-based curriculum, fine arts, and athletics St. Mary's students are set apart from others while placing them on a path of life-long success. Continuing the Catholic tradition is Sacred Heart of Jesus High School.

Founded in 2004, Sacred Heart is a vibrant, growing, Catholic liberal arts academy with a strong college preparatory curriculum. With a mission to educate outstanding young men and women through the principles of "Religion, Reason, and Loving Kindness", Sacred Heart is growing rapidly and has experienced enrollment gains each year since its inception. SHJ serves a diverse population of students, the majority of which receive some form of assistance to attend. Events such as Oktoberfest support the operational costs of the school not covered by tuition.
