Break out the lederhosen!
Ruidoso prepares to celebrate its 28th annual Oktoberfest in honor of the ancient festival started in 1810, when King Ludwig I of Bavaria decided to celebrate his marriage with Princess Theresa of Saxony-Hildburghausen in royal style.
Join the fun and help consume mass quantities of beer, chicken, sausage and other German delicacies, plus visit over 40 arts and crafts booths and dance to the tune of live polka bands. All that fun has another purpose, too: The Ruidoso Oktoberfest is produced by Special Events Resource Group (SERG), a non-profit 501c3 New Mexico Corporation formed with the purpose of providing funds to benefit legitimate and recognized Charities and fund Education Scholarships for the youth of Lincoln County, NM. Since its inception in 1999, SERG has contributed over $145,000 to Lincoln County charities including over $55,000 in scholarships.
