Come enjoy a fun-filled day at Renfrew’s Seventh Annual Oktoberfest Fundraiser!
This seasonal favorite is held at our beautiful historic farmstead to take full advantage of the scenic autumnal views in a unique period setting.
As always, this traditional signature event will have a distinctive Renfrew feel as we honor the German roots of the Royer family that worked this land.
It’s fun for everyone with a one-of-a-kind family-friendly celebration of history and the harvest!
Your admission includes entry into the festival featuring live traditional music, full tours of the 1812 Royer House, historic trade demonstrations, silent auction, family fun area, farmstead activities, and so much more!
