Fall Festival

The sights, sounds and flavors of the Old World are on full display every October at Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center’s annual Artoberfest.

Fun for everyone

Events For Our Children

One of Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center’s most popular events, Artoberfest offers arts and crafts for the kids, authentic German food and beer for adults, and great music for everyone. Highlights include the Kids Arts and Crafts Pavilion, where children can engage in such fun activities as pumpkin painting, face painting and more. A storyteller and caricature artist add to the overall festivities. Our next festival will be held Oct. 18, 2025 and promises to be a total blast.
