2024 will represent the third annual occurrence of the Cottage Grove Oktoberfest. We continue to grow the event each year while at the same time being able to highlight and promote our downtown Cottage Grove area, our businesses, and our local artists and vendors.

Have some fun with family and friends at the festival on Saturday, September 28, 2024, in Downtown Cottage Grove, Oregon! You’ll find us near the historic Cottage Grove Armory, just off Main Street on the corner of South 7th and Washington Streets. (You will not need tickets to enter the event and there will be activities for all ages!)

We invite you to join us to celebrate our friends, our harvest, our art, and our town. Prost!

Farmers Market & Event Vendors

Discover a wide variety of locally grown produce, pasture raised meat and eggs, plants, honey, cut flowers, nuts, mushrooms, fresh pressed cider, jams, jellies, pickles, and baked goods. Vendors also offer high quality handcrafts, jewelry, soaps, art, wine, poetry, wreaths, and holiday gifts.

2024 Art and Sip

A Vineyard & Art Collaboration

This year we are pairing several regional vineyards and their representatives, along with various artists and vendors, for a wine-tasting experience that will be hosted inside the historic Cottage Grove Armory.

You’ll be able to sip and stroll while you enjoy your tasting in the Armory, and then, before you leave the event, purchase and take home bottles from your favorite vineyards.

The details on our participating vineyards continues to expand and we will have all the information on those attending just as soon as they are finalized!

Kids Activities

There will be a variety of kids activities hosted by Sprouts at the Market from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Our special Oktoberfest activity will be “Pumpkin Pals” — Create your own adorable (or silly, spooky, mysterious — let your creativity decide) mini pumpkin decoration!

There will also be a coloring contest with winners selected and announced at the Armory during Oktoberfest. Get coloring contest details here!
