To say that 2020 has been a year like no other, and that this coronavirus pandemic has affected each and everyone of us… is indeed, an understatement. In fact, for the first time in almost four decades we won’t be saying WILLKOMMEN ZUM OKTOBERFEST this year.
Certainly a difficult decision to make, but First Lutheran Church’s Oktoberfest committee determined that it would have been impossible to maintain social distancing, the City was not issuing permits for outdoor Special Events more than 30 days out, and most importantly… our concern was for the health and safety of our thousands of visitors and volunteers who make Island Oktoberfest a successful, fun and exciting event every year.
As you already know… proceeds from Oktoberfest are a vital link to the continued success of our community outreach projects including our Feed Galveston -a dynamic initiative that allows our church and community volunteers to package over 50,000 non-perishable, nourishing meals in a matter of hours.
Proceeds also benefit Fanfare! Lutheran Music Academy.
If you’re able, just think what a positive financial impact your contribution will make this year since we won’t have our annual Oktoberfest event! What a great feeling knowing you’re your contribution will go towards helping fund the next Feed Galveston project as well as making a positive difference for a new young student being able to attend our wonderful Fanfare! Lutheran Music Academy, and of course knowing that we can meet our monthly financial obligations for the church.
Please visit our church website: www.firstlutherangalveston.com/donate for more information and to contribute.
THANK YOU…. For your continued support of, enthusiasm for, and participation every year n our Island Oktoberfest – Galveston’s premier fall festival!
And most importantly… we look forward to celebrating TOGETHER next year!

My favorite favorite event on the island!! I’m so sad. 😞
One of my favorite events! I know that’s a tough call to make. Hang in there! Looking forward to next year. Will donate for sure!
I was so hoping this was going to happen. It's my favorite event on the island
Understandable, but will miss the music, polka, and all! Hoping 2021 will be best ever!

Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."...... This propaganda/ rhetoric of the " cancel culture " is going too far period we as citizens have a constitutional freedom of assembly and a guarantee to our own pursuit of happiness and liberty ..period this covid nonsense and fearmongering is blatently idiotic .....ocktoberfest was not canceled during the " h1n1 pandemic" during the obama administration this cov2 virus is no worse than it was in brutal honestly you have a greater risk of death from putting your keys in the ignition of your vehicle and driving in the galveston/ houston area due to the amount of traffic accidents...than you do of dying from cov2 ..people need to wake up and realize what this is doing to our country and our economy/ prosperity which only shows of how much we are allowing ourselves to be lead astray by theses " policymakers" and municipal/ state authorities who are overstepping their bounds to govern who are not suffering in the slightest .....if anything they are getting richer by having to do less work and stepping on the backs and necks of the tax paying citizens...
COVID hasn't cancelled a single thing, just the Karens.
