Klamath Falls, OR (August 22nd, 2024) – The Klamath County Economic Development Association (KCEDA) announced today that a community tradition, the Klamath Basin Oktoberfest, is officially scheduled for September 21st, 2024. This is aligned with the same date the historic German Oktoberfest opens.

The event has had groundbreaking attendance in previous years, attracting between 2,000-3,000 people on average, representing a welcome mix of local residents and travelers from regions throughout the West Coast. According to representatives of KCEDA, the event is on track to bring in a record-high attendance, so get your tickets early at www.klamathoktoberfest.org.


Located at the Bill Collier Ice Arena on the Running Y Ranch & Resort, the event will take place on Saturday, September 21st at noon to 9:00pm. As a regional gathering, The Klamath Basin Oktoberfest brings the community and tourists together to celebrate the remarkable brew, food, and entertainment options that exist right here in Southern Oregon. In addition to the many notable vendors participating at the event, there is also a wide selection of family-friendly games and activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

KCEDA staff is currently working with event preparations. KCEDA CEO, Randy Cox, discussed the event, stating, “We have added some exciting new elements to Oktoberfest this year and look forward to having the event be a showcase for Klamath County. The brews, food, and entertainment will celebrate what makes our region special. None of this would be possible without the support of the County Commissioners and our many sponsors. I encourage people to mark September 21st on their calendar and pre-order tickets.” Premiere sponsors of the event are Klamath County, Swan Lake Energy, Nextera Energy, and Nick Alexander Films.
