Stouts to lead Baraboo Oktoberfest

Meet our Baraboo Oktoberfest Fest Masters, Tom and Lisa Stout!
The Stouts have been fixtures at our Oktoberfest since its inception. Lisa has been attending Oktoberfest in La Crosse since 1978, when she was an infant! It was a family tradition, as her father was stationed in Germany in the 1960s and attended Oktoberfest there.
Tom joined the tradition in 2001, as did their children just a few years later.
On September 19, they’ll lead the Tour de Prost ride around downtown at 3 p.m. before tapping the golden keg at 4. After that, you’ll see them dancing to polka music, sipping local Oktoberfest beers and overseeing the costume contest and stein-holding competition!

Join us for a Bavarian festival featuring polka bands, local Oktoberfest beers and a brat stand at Circus World.
The BaraBrew WisconSing BierChoir will start the festivities at 3:30, performing as Fest Masters Tom and Lisa Stout tap the golden keg.
Griffy Jim and the Polka Dots will perform from 4-6.
The costume contest and stein holding competition will take place between polka bands, with the Mike Schneider Band taking over the Hippodrome at 7.
Tickets cost $12 at the door or $10 in advance at the Chamber Visitor Center.
