It isn't Oktoberfest without polkas, oom-pahs & chicken dancing!

Join us this fall for authentic Oktoberfesting music provided by one of America’s most popular Oktoberfest bands, a Canadian band that’s knocking the Oktoberfest world on its ear, and our very own local Bavarian orchestra!

The Europa Band

One of the top Oktoberfest bands in the country — The Europa Band— is back by popular demand for their 10th year, providing authentic Oktoberfest music like no other!   John, Milan and Adam travel coast-to-coast each Fall playing at Oktoberfests from Montana to Florida and back again, cranking-out the oom-pah, polka and waltzes ... along with a bit of country, gypsy fiddle and Carlos Santana! 

Europa takes the stage from 5:30-11 p.m. the second weekend of Oktoberfest, Oct. 5-7. Check out the band and their music at: http://www.theeuropaband.com/

S-Bahn

New to the Whitefish Oktoberfest — but not to Oktober-festing — is S-Bahn … a four-piece band out of British Columbia that’s been delighting crowds on both sides of the border for more than a decade! Band leader Richard Tyce sings, plays the accordion and keyboards, and orchestrates the band’s high-energy performance, drawing the audience into the action at every opportunity.

From polkas and waltzes to rock ‘n roll classics and S-Bahn originals, this band will knock your knee-length socks off! Performing nightly the first weekend of Oktoberfest … Sept. 26-28! Check them out at https://sbahnmusic.com/

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!
