Winter Weather Runners' Warning!

When we are cold, we stiffen up.

When our running shoes are cold, they stiffen up.

When the asphalt is cold, it stiffens up.

These three "stiffeners", are the leading cause of shin pain, when running in below-freezing weather.

Layering is very important. Your legs must be kept warm. Wear a stocking cap.

Awesome event.

Saturday is Family Day! While parents are welcome to bring their children to every part of Oktoberfest, we have set aside a special time for families to enjoy the festive spirit of this classic German cultural fest. Family Day is held on Saturday, September 17th beginning at 10:30 AM and lasting until about 3:30 p.m. In addition to all the enjoyable foods and beverages available throughout the fest, special programming and activities for children are provided during this time.

Musical performances featuring students from local school groups and Palatine-based youth organizations highlight the afternoon's events on the main stage. Adjacent to Oktoberfest in Palatine's Towne Square Park there will be face painting and a variety of children's games .

Family Day kicks off with an Oktoberfest Casual Family Bike Ride. Meet at 10:30AM at Towne Square (at the corner of Smith & Slade Streets), and start the ride at about 11. Registration is free! Bike racks will be provided. This is a family-friendly casual ride of 12 miles. Children under 12 will need an adult to accompany them. Helmets are required.
