For a fifth consecutive year the Oktoberfest attracted a big turnout to downtown Junction City. Co-organizer Matt Hoover called it a great event. Feedback was positive from those attending. '"They've loved the variety, The Kids Zone, we had a Family Zone, Escape Room." There was also a popular street dance, live bands and beer. "We've got really great beer vendors."

Beer vendors included Highwind Brewing Company, Manhattan Brewing Company, Aggieville Brewing Company and Riverbank Brewing.
Terry Butler with Junction City Mainstreet said, "Oktoberfest 2025 has been a wonderful event." She also noted,"The community is who put it on, just anybody and everybody."
Ty Glessner with Tyme Out Lounge, served food downtown and said the event brings a lot of people down there. He estimated his business served about 1,000 plates of food during the weekend at the event.
Matt Hoover said Oktoberfest will return for a sixth year in 2026. "We'll be coming back and we'll be even bigger."
