There is no more appropriate setting for an American version of the "Old World" Oktoberfest than in Mt Angel Oregon. The small community was settled by German pioneers in the 1800s and readily reminds on of the rich Bavarian countryside. Oregon's oldest and best loved Oktoberfest began in 1966 as a traditional harvest festival to celebrate the bounty of the earth and the goodness of creation. It is Oregon's largest folk festival.
