Festing Safety
Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest wants to help you stay safe while celebrating the festival this year. Enjoying a few beverages is all part of the tradition, but it’s also important to make sure you have planned a safe way to get home from your chosen Festhalle or community event. Visit Grand River Transit to plan your trip or arrange for a designated driver, taxi service, UBER or other rideshare option.
Many of our Festhallen venues have special programs for designated drivers, such as complimentary non-alcoholic beverages! Ask your server!
