It's almost time for Oxtoberfest!

 

Cooler mornings, termination dust on Pioneer peak, and nights that actually get dark means it’s time to celebrate! This annual Farm-to-Table feast is hands down the best party in Southcentral Alaska! Alaska’s finest brass, lederhosen clad, Oom Pah band Alaska Blaskapelle churns out the polkas while warm heaters, cold bier, and hot Alaskan Grown food cheer your soul!​

​​

Since the very first year we did this, this event has sold out, and we greatly appreciate everyone who supports this awesome event! For those with tickets, mark your calendar, polish off your polka, and get your lederhosen pressed, this will be another Oxtoberfest that people talk about for months to come.

​

When: Saturday, Oxtober 5th; doors and biergarten open at 5pm, and food and festivities kick off at 6pm.

This event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for us at the Musk Ox Farm. All proceeds support our herd of over 75 musk oxen. All ticket sales are final. This event is held in the autumn in Alaska, rain, snow, or shine! The Musk Ox Farm, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been gracefully raising these distinctive Arctic ungulates since 1964. Our mission is to promote gentle musk ox husbandry, qiviut production, and education to the public.
