SPRING VALLEY, WI – Oktoberfest came to Spring Valley, Wisconsin last Saturday night, October 11, 2025, at the Half Fast Brewing Company where the beer was flowing along with a live two-person polka band and more.
The Munich, Germany like festivities began at noon and carried on until 9:00 or there abouts. This reporter got there at five and there was a nice sized crowd at the Spring Valley Oktoberfest. Several people were lounging at the back patio and inside at the bar they were enjoying beer and camaraderie. Back out on the closed off section of McKay Avenue a few folks were dancing and listening to the music of the “Singin-n-Swingin” band. For the hungry, there was a tasty selection of food from the “Four Piggies BBQ” food truck.
Julie and Dave Ducklow of Spring Valley came dressed for Oktoberfest in German costume along with Julie’s great niece, Grace O’Donnell (age 13) of Hudson, Wisconsin. The Half Fast “Beer Maids” serving up the cold ones inside the Half Fast Brewing Company to a good crowd were in German attire.
