Organizers met this past week to begin planning for 2022 Oktoberfest in Junction City.
During a Military Affairs Council meeting on Thursday Terri Butler noted that the dates for the second annual celebration will be Sept. 30th and Oct. 1st. "We're using all the successes that occurred this year, all the ideas that were presented to make it even better."
Butler noted that the event is expected to run during the day on both Friday and Saturday into the evening. They're hoping for a big turnout. "We're going to plan for 10,000 over the two days," said Butler.
This past year the the initial festival was held Oct. 8th and 9th on Friday afternoon and evening, and during the day on Saturday. Attendance was estimated at about 4,000 on Friday alone with a large evening turnout.
