It's that time! Head to downtown Manteno for our annual Oktoberfest!
Celebrate fall in true festival style at Manteno Oktoberfest, returning to downtown Manteno September 24–27, 2026!
What began 25 years ago as a small community festival with three carnival rides and a beer tent has grown into one of the area’s biggest annual celebrations. Today, Manteno Oktoberfest features more than 25 carnival rides and games, three music stages, live entertainment from day into night, food, vendors and plenty of family-friendly fun throughout the weekend.
Stroll through beautiful downtown Manteno, enjoy live music, take a spin on your favorite carnival ride, grab a bite to eat and explore local businesses and vendors. With something happening throughout the festival, it's the perfect way to bring the whole family together for a fall weekend in Kankakee County.
Whether you're coming for the rides, the music, the food or simply the community atmosphere, there's a reason Manteno Oktoberfest has been bringing people together from near and far for 25 years.
