2025 Entertainment Lineup Brings Back Fan Favorites and High-Energy Acts

(LEAVENWORTH, Wash.) — Organizers of Leavenworth Oktoberfest have unveiled the 2025 entertainment lineup, as Oktoberfest returns to Leavenworth for three unforgettable weekends: October 3–4, 10–11, and 17–18. The Bavarian-style celebration takes over the Leavenworth Festhalle and Front Street Park, with beer gardens and three lively stages packed with nonstop entertainment. Festivalgoers can explore the full entertainment lineup, pre-purchase tickets, and order official Oktoberfest merchandise at Leavenworth.org/Oktoberfest.

Oktoberfest in Leavenworth brings a dynamic lineup of standout musicians across three lively stages, featuring: 

  • West Coast Prost – California’s premier polka variety band brings youthful energy to traditional favorites, playing everything from polkas and waltzes to Dixieland, swing, and country-western classics.

  • S-Bahn Band – This Canadian polka variety powerhouse has a devoted fanbase and serves up high-octane performances perfect for Oktoberfest revelry.

  • Die Jungen Weststeirer – This rising Austrian band showcases authentic polka and Oberkrainer Oktoberfest music straight from the Alps.

  • Michael Stoessl – A renowned folk singer and world-touring professional yodeler from Germany, Michael brings his classic Bavarian flair to the stage.

  • Enzian Schuhplattler (Seattle) & Tirolean Dancers (Oregon) – These traditional dance troupes dazzle with energetic German folk dances and ornate costumes.

  • Manuela Horn – The one and only Yodelin’ Queen returns with her crowd-favorite, high-energy performances across multiple weekends.

  • Fan Favorites – Beloved acts including Smilin’ Scandinavians, AlpenFolk, The Europa Band, Ted Lunka Polka Band, European Takeout, Leavenworth Alphorns, and more will delight audiences with the classic Oktoberfest sound attendees know and love.

Festival-goers can look forward to more vendors, delicious food, and an expanded selection of both local and imported beer—including a new robust lineup of Hofbräu direct from Germany.
