Kinderfest at the Tourist Club

Kinderfest is a great event for the entire family. In addition to all the adult fun, food, drink, live music, and dancing of Oktoberfest, there are special activities for our younger members and guests.

If you love to dance, there's always a lively band playing folk and popular music. Featured dancers in traditional dress perform Schuhplattler and other dances popular at seasonal festivals in Germany and Austria. Add to that a menu of authentic German/Austrian foods, and of course, excellent imported and domestic beers and other drinks, and you have a fun-filled day that is sehr gemütlich (very pleasant) for all ages.

Children can compete for prizes in our forest meadow games, or join other kids in dances on the Fest dance floor.

All tickets are sold in advance only.

Can I change the name on my tickets?

Guests are checked in at the gate under the name of the ticket purchaser. Your guests can arrive at any time, they just need to give the name and email address of the ticket purchaser. You can change the name of the ticket purchaser on Eventbrite up to one day before the event. Visit https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/How_To/how-to-update-your-ticket-registration-information.

Do I have to bring a printed ticket to the event?

There is no need to bring a paper ticket or to print the confirmation email. Your name will be on an attendee list at the entrance. Just bring a valid photo ID to show when you check in. We are in the woods, with spotty internet coverage, so we don't support mobile tickets.

What about purchases at the event?

We do not accept credit cards, debit cards, electronic transfers, or checks at the club. There is no ATM on the premises.

What is the refund policy?

All ticket sales are final (in other words, no refunds). The Fest goes on, rain or shine!
