You asked… we delivered!

Original Festhalle floor boards are for sale at our self-serve stand located in the official Amana Colonies Oktoberfest grounds. Mother Nature even washed them for you yesterday!

“The floor knows what you did last Oktoberfest… $5.00 keeps it quiet”!

We accept Cash, Venmo or Cash App. All proceeds go towards continued maintenance and repairs to the Festhalle and surrounding barn complex.

For all Oktoberfest information, please visit Amana Colonies Festivals.

🍻 The Festhalle Bar is OPEN during Handworks! 🍻

We’re here all weekend to keep everyone on-site hydrated while you shop, explore and visit.

Although us locals know it as The Keller, we figured we’d save everyone the confusion this weekend and keep it simple…Festhalle Bar it is!

Just a friendly reminder… the Festhalle basement is always a little cooler both in temperature AND atmosphere. 😎🍺

So take a break, grab an ice-cold drink or a sweet treat, rest your feet and know that every drink you purchase helps support the continued restoration and preservation of these historic spaces.

🔨 HANDWORKS IS BACK IN AMANA! 🔨

We are thrilled to open the doors of the Amana Festhalle Barn once again for the Handworks Tool Show, September 4–5!

A lot has changed since Handworks was last here. So many improvements have been made to the Festhalle, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back and showcase the work that has gone into preserving this incredible historic barn.

🍻 NEW THIS YEAR — THE KELLER BAR WILL BE OPEN!

The Keller Bar will be open each day during the event, serving up ice-cold drinks and giving you the perfect place to take a load off your feet for a bit before heading back out to enjoy the show. Drink menus will be posted throughout the barn so you can see what’s available.

Come thirsty, enjoy the Festhalle, and help us keep your whistles wet for a good cause! 🍺

Every drink purchased helps support the Amana Colonies Historical Sites Foundation and our ongoing work to restore our historic buildings, preserve the places that tell our story, and save Amana’s history for generations to come.

We’re excited to have the Handworks crowd back in the barn, we’ll see you September 4–5! 🛠️🍻
