Please join us for the 3rd Annual St. Francis de Sales Oktoberfest Parish Picnic. It will be a great day of fun for all ages! Join us in costume for the Bavarian Costume Contest. Bid on a magnificent experience, service or gift card bundle at our Silent Auction. New this year: Four big ticket items at the Live Auction. Feast your eyes on the beautiful homemade pies and cakes, and bid on the one that suits your fancy at the Pie & Cake Silent Auction.

Enjoy our Philadelphia soft pretzels and ice cream for purchase.  At 5:30pm join us for a delicious grilled dinner hosted by the Knights of Columbus and an amazing potluck.

The kids can play at the Kidz Zone on two Moon Bounces, go lawn bowling, and many other activities while the adults enjoy a beverage at our renowned Biergarten featuring offerings from Bluemont’s Dirt Farm Brewery and Henway Cidery, and Corcoran Vineyards.

Of course, you don’t want to miss the Cornhole Tournament or the 50/50 Raffle! Finish the festivities off with an evening of enjoying the music of our Oompah Band.
