The People Behind the Prost

About Us

🌿

Madison Oktoberfest is a community celebration rooted in the spirit of togetherness, craft beer, and local pride. What started as an idea among friends has grown into one of Madison, Ohio's most anticipated autumn events — and this year, it's going online for the first time.

The event is fully outdoor, held rain or shine at Stanton Park in Madison, Ohio. It is a 21+ event and benefits the Madison Joint Recreation District — helping fund parks, programs, and community spaces that serve our town year-round. Our previous events have featured craft beer, live music, local vendors, and a whole lot of Oktoberfest fun, and 2026 will be no different.
