Welcome to the Benicia Voice Podcast with Host Ruben, Co-Host Rick, and Producers Andy and Bart.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dawson from the Benicia Chamber of Commerce, who’s here to tell us all about Oktoberfest & Marketplace 2025, happening Saturday, September 20th from 11 am to 6 pm at First Street Green.
This year marks five years of Oktoberfest in Benicia! Expect three live German bands, polka dancing, stein-holding contests, and even the Bavarian chicken dance. Families will love the Mega Kids Zone with inflatables, face painting, and a root beer garden—free for kids 12 and under.
Of course, you’ll find authentic German food like schnitzel, sausages, and sauerkraut, plus beer imported straight from Bavaria. And don’t forget the marketplace with over 20 local vendors offering unique gifts and crafts.
It’s a day full of culture, music, food, and community fun—Lederhosen & Dirndl encouraged!
Tune in now and then come raise a stein with us at Oktoberfest in Benicia!
