Let's Go Shopping
Collectibles, crafts, fine arts, one-of-a-kind items (and always a surprise or two) are all in the Oktoberfest exhibitor areas. Festival patrons are also encouraged to browse by the First Methodist Church, located at 3rd and Ewing Streets, adjacent to the downtown area of the Oktoberfest, which holds a flea market each year. This huge flea market is always a favorite for those coming to the Oktoberfest. |
