Join the Rotary Club of Palatine for Oktoberfest 2009 at Fireman’s Memorial Parking Lot from Friday, September 18th through Sunday, September 20th. The Rotary’s Oktoberfest will feature authentic German food, beer and entertainment. This year’s lineup includes original and cover bands, German Bands and DJs. Friday evening, Oktoberfest will kick-off with a traditional keg rolling ceremony.

Other highlights this year include the Family and Senior Day activities on Saturday afternoon from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM, and a Group Bike Ride with City Limits Harley Davidson on Sunday. There is no excuse not to come to this completely tented event, as Oktoberfest will have a large screen television broadcast the weekend sports games! The Rotary will also be selling raffle tickets for the chance to win some great prizes – including wheelbarrows of beer!

Times of the event are Friday from 4:00 PM - 11:00 PM, Saturday from noon – 11:00 PM, and Sunday from noon – 6:00 PM. If you have a group that would like to volunteer to help during the event, please contact Oktoberfest@palatinerotary.com. Watch for the complete schedule of events starting in August.
