It just wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without polkas, oom-pahs & chicken dancing! So join us this fall for authentic Oktoberfesting music provided by one of America’s most popular Oktoberfest bands, our very own local Bavarian orchestra, and a home-grown collective of talented musicians who “wowed” the crowds last year … and got everyone on their feet!!

Bavarski

From the wilds of northern New Jersey comes Bavarski … one of the most talented Oktoberfest bands in the country, playing all the classic German/Oktoberfest tunes while putting a modern rock’ n roll twist on it to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long.   

Ron, Eddie, Ernie and Wayne are the “new breed” of polka players, fusing German, Slovenian and Polish-American music with jazz, rock and New World influences to create a one-of-a-king, high-energy show we’re proud to bring to the Great Northwest Oktoberfest for the very first time! 

Bavarski takes the stage from 5:30-10:30 p.m. the second weekend of Oktoberfest, Oct. 8-10.

The Bavarian Echoes

Taking the stage on Saturday afternoons from 1-5 p.m. are the Bavarian Echoes, the Flathead Valley’s own 20-piece Bavarian Orchestra. Check them out under the Oktoberfest Bigtop … and have the kids close-by at 2:45 p.m., for the Chicken Dance Championships!

The MAC-toberfest Band

Back for an encore performance after “wowing” the crowd on Local’s Night last year is The MAC (Montana Artist Collective) Band. Performing as The MAC-toberfest Band, they bring a stacked roster of some of northwest Montana’s most talented performers for an incredible Oktoberfest experience!

The MAC-toberfest Band will keep the dancefloor hoppin’ the first weekend of Oktoberfest (Oct. 1-3), playing four sets between 5:30 and 10:30 p.m. each night.
