FAC’s Oktoberfest weekend features folk dance and music workshops, evening folk dance parties, and late-night after-parties in addition to beautiful autumn foliage by Lake Morey, cozy ambience, good food, and comfortable cabins.
Beginners, singles, and families are welcome at Oktoberfest

Choose full-time or part-time participation options
Full-time Oktoberfest campers may register for lodging, meals, and activities. If you do not plan to stay overnight at Hulbert, you may join us full-time just for meals and activities. See the Registration page for the 2010 full-time form and fees.
Alternatively, you may attend Oktoberfest part-time, joining us for meals, workshops, and parties as you choose. The 2010 schedule and the driving directions are available online. We encourage part-timers to register in advance for activities. (Meals for part-timers require advance registration.) Part-time fees will be listed on the 2010 part-time registration form, which will be posted soon.
