What bands are playing and when?
Just like last year we will have a full line-up of bands for Parktoberfest! Check back here to see the line-up closer to October!
Will there be parking available?
There will be LIMITED free parking available, but it will fill up fast. Please be patient with our volunteers and kind and considerate to the park’s neighbors. DO NOT park in driveways, etc.
Consider carpooling, walking, or riding your bike!
Will there be bathrooms available?
Yes! Ashland has bathrooms on site that will be open, and we will have port-a-potties to accommodate the number of people we anticipate!
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but your pup must be well-behaved and on a leash at all times, and you must pick up after them. We love your dogs, but it’s going to be crowded so this might not be the best event to bring Fido to. Especially if Fido is a bit nervous.
How much are steins
$10 plastic 20 oz liter steins — comes with first fill from ANY BREWERY! Each brewery will have at least one stein-able beer.
$7 refills all day
Stein quantity is limited and we expect to sell out quickly!
Do I have to buy a stein??
Nope! In fact, we’ll have a limited amount available, so if you DO want one of the (really cool) 20 oz steins that Visit Lex provided, you’ll probably want to show up on the early end of things
Can I bring my 32oz refillable stadium cup (or other refillable)?
Not to this event. Parktoberfest will be 12oz, 16oz, and 20 oz Litre Stein pours only at ALL breweries. We’re doing that to keep things fair for breweries who don’t offer a 32ozer of their own.
What items can I bring?
ENCOURAGED ITEMS:
Refillable Water Bottles (there will be a Kentucky American Water refill station)
Chairs
Blankets
Bags
Sunscreen
Bug Spray
Hand Sani
Etc. you get the gist!
PROHIBITED ITEMS:
- NO outside alcohol
