Oktoberfest 2026

The event started in 1976, as a community day to promote Boardman and the residents of the Township. Today, Oktoberfest has grown into the area's largest one day arts and crafts event, drawing vendors from five states. Visitors to this annual fall celebration also come from neighboring states and often arrive by the bus load. This year Oktoberfest will cling to its roots and again present a one day art, craft and entertainment event. The Oktoberfest is the largest single fundraiser of the Rotary Club of Boardman, which uses the proceeds to support programs and efforts throughout the local area. International needs are also addressed when the Rotary Club of Boardman partners with other groups around the globe. Oktoberfest is scheduled for Sunday, October 4th, 2026. Gates will open to the public at 9am and admission is only $5. As usual, this event will be held in the beautiful Boardman Township Park. Enjoy a wonderful fall day, the aroma of great food, kid's entertainment and of course plenty of crafts to please everyone.
