VENDOR DETAILS

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4th - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5th 2024

Oktoberfest is a Junction City tradition that draws locals and visitors to our downtown!  It’s a time to showcase the best from our community.  In 2023 we saw approximately 20,000 visitors and we have plans in place to increase our attendance.  JC Oktoberfest is a non-profit, volunteer run organization. As a vendor at the event, your business/organization gains recognition as a supporter of the JC Oktoberfest and a valued partner with the Junction City community.  We hope that you will choose to become a participating vendor of this year’s event.
