The Twin Falls Kiwanis Club has set the date for its annual Oktober Feast German dinner, scheduled to take place on October 1 in Idaho.
This community gathering serves as a primary fundraiser for the organization’s youth programs. Proceeds from the event help support local initiatives aimed at developing young people in the Magic Valley area.
Individual tickets are priced at $20 and include a meal of bratwurst with sides. Residents can purchase admission through several channels to ensure they secure their spot for the evening.
Sponsorship Opportunities
The club is also seeking local business support through tiered sponsorship packages. These contributions provide additional funding while offering visibility for participating companies.
A business sponsorship costs $50 and includes 10 tickets along with recognition on the event banner. For organizations looking for greater exposure, an event sponsorship is available for $100. This tier provides 20 tickets and places the company logo prominently on the banner.
The highest level of support is the elite sponsorship, priced at $500. This package includes 40 tickets, logo placement on the banner, and a $50 donation directed to a youth organization of the sponsor’s choice. This option allows businesses to directly influence which local group receives additional financial aid.
Tickets can be purchased online via the club’s dedicated event page. Alternatively, residents may buy tickets directly from any Kiwanis member or purchase them upon arrival at the venue. Buying through a member or attending in person also qualifies for sponsorship consideration.
Community Tradition
The Oktober Feast has been a staple of the Twin Falls community calendar for years. Club members dedicate significant time to preparing the traditional German fare that defines the event.
In 2011, members Les Hazen, Jon Baker, Zach Anderson, and Ray Parrish were among those who prepared the bratwurst for the feast. Their efforts highlight the volunteer-driven nature of the organization, which relies on local residents to execute large-scale community events.
The Kiwanis Club continues to leverage these annual gatherings to strengthen ties within Twin Falls County while funding programs that benefit the next generation. The October 1 dinner offers a chance for locals to enjoy a traditional meal while contributing to youth development efforts.
