Vendor FAQs

Answering your vendor questions about our new location, 2024 vendor categories and more!

Where will Octoberfest be held in 2024?

Octoberfest 2024 will be held at our brand new location, Sprankle Woods, 340 Riemer Road, Sarver, PA 16055.

Why is Octoberfest moving?

We’ve outgrown our space at the Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company Carnival Grounds. SVFC is doing some upgrades to the Carnival Grounds, and unfortunately, that means we will be losing some of our usable space. We are continuing to grow, so ultimately we need more space, not less!
