Downtown Abilene is the place to be on Saturday, October 4! The fun kicks off from 1–5 PM with a community celebration hosted by the Center for Contemporary Arts and Grain Theory, featuring a sizzling Sausage Cook-Off, local art vendors, live music, and Oktoberfest games with plenty of craft beer. Then the party rolls straight into the night as Grain Theory’s 5th Annual Oktoberfest takes over from 5–10 PM with more live music, a steinholding competition, street food, family activities, and an outdoor cigar tent. Come hungry, bring your friends, and get ready to celebrate Abilene style!
