Let’s go to Oktoberfest in Delavan 

You and your Porsche are invited to an Oktoberfest celebration Oct. 11 at the Waters Edge event center in Delavan, Wis.

Location: 1220 S. Shore Dr., Delavan Wis. 53115.

The event will run from noon to 6 p.m.  

Rain date: Oct. 12

Bring your Porsche to this family friendly event. PCA Chicago region members along with PCA Milwaukee region members will be able to display their Porsches in a designated parking area. This will be a fun way to meet members of the Chicago region. 

The event features indoor and outdoor activities.   

Indoor activities include ethnic dance groups. At 3 p.m. a German Polka band will play. Kick up your heels and polka. Outdoor events include a stein lifting contest, Baggo contest (free Baggo all day long), Hammerschlagen*, Brat eating contest, etc. There is outdoor seating in a park-like atmosphere; the views of Delavan Lake are impressive. 

We will have an exclusive parking area in a grassy area near the event center. We will not only have access to the main level dining/dancing area but also will have exclusive use of the upper VIP area and deck. Access is by stairs or an elevator. 

A group of cars will be coming up from Chicago and will be arriving at 11:30 a.m. We would like to have most of the cars arrive at that time to minimize the disruption to the normal traffic flow. Any cars arriving later in the day can't be guaranteed preferred parking. 

There is no admission fee and ample free parking for the general public. No fee to park Porsches either.

Tickets are required for food and drink and must be purchased at the door. Ticket pricing for the 2025 event will be available later this year.

In 2024, the tickets were $2 apiece. Here is what was available for purchase and the number of tickets needed: 

1 ticket ($2) for water and soda 
2 tickets ($4) for Miller Lite 
3 tickets ($6) German Beer 
2 tickets ($4) for soft pretzel
2-3 tickets ($4-$6) variety of German desserts 
3 tickets ($6) for Brats
5 tickets ($10) for a Weisswurst platter 
7 tickets ($14) for Sauerbraten platter 

We will update the pricing for 2025 when available from the event organizers. 

Complimentary coffee will be available in the VIP room. 

This is a small community event; large crowds are not anticipated. 

This event is not sponsored by PCA or the Milwaukee and Chicago regions. 

While an RSVP isn’t required, it would be helpful to get an idea of the number of cars that will be arriving to park in the designated area for Porsches. Send an email to Tim Rehbein and let him know if you plan to attend.
