Oktoberfest 2024
September 7 & 8
Important Ticketing Policy Change for 2024:
Oktoberfest is now an entirely pre-ticketed event.
Update: Oktoberfest 2024 is now completely sold out! Additional tickets will not be available for sale at the gates on either day of the event and only ticketed guests will be admitted to the grounds.
2024 Ticket Information
Oktoberfest will now be entirely pre-ticketed and tickets will no longer be available for purchase at the gates on the day of the event. We will also be capping the number of tickets available for pre-sale for each day of the event and expect it to sell out.
We have been thrilled with the increasing demand for our annual Oktoberfest, but in recent years the crowds have grown to a level that we feel we can no longer accommodate. By limiting the number of visitors on our grounds for each day of the event, we can ensure a better experience for our guests, vendors, and volunteers.

-
BSV members receive one complimentary ticket for each day of Oktoberfest and can also purchase up to five additional discounted tickets for guests
-
Early Bird Tickets ($10) - limited to 500 per day, available until July 31st or until supplies last

General Admission Pre-Sale Tickets ($12.50) - available until August 31st (or until supplies last)
-
Last Minute Tickets ($15) - beginning September 1st, any remaining ticket inventory will be available for sale at $15 per guest
All ticket sales are final and refunds will not be issued. Tickets are non-transferable. Oktoberfest will be held rain or shine.

The Sängerchor invites anyone interested in German folksongs to a Sing-Along on both days of the BSV Oktoberfest at 4:00PM. We will gather between the Info Tent and the playground and will have copies of a selection of folksongs available, including a few international songs. (And if the favorite song of your German “Oma” is missing, we’ll do our best to accommodate!) On Saturday, we will have recorded accompaniment, and on Sunday, a guitar player will accompany us.

Parking and Transportation
When arriving to the BSV, please adhere to the direction of our parking staff, as they will direct you to the appropriate parking areas.
Parking is available on the grounds at the BSV, but space is limited, and historically those lots have filled up around 2pm each day of Oktoberfest. In the event that our main lots are full, overflow parking is available at the Next Generation Children's Center, on North Street, Norfolk Country Agricultural School, or at Westwood High School. Shuttle service is provided from all of these locations and shuttles will run continuously throughout both days of the event. Typically the wait at each location is only 10-15 minutes.
Handicap parking is available for guests with handicap placards in the lot adjacent to the main BSV clubhouse. Please have your placard prominently displayed when you arrive so that our staff can direct you accordingly.
Utilizing ride share apps is also strongly recommended to help us limit the number of vehicles on our grounds. There is a drop off area immediately within our main entrance for Lyft and Uber riders.
Note: please do not park on Route 109, on any of our neighboring streets, or at any local businesses. The Walpole Police Department will be on site and enforcing any infractions. Guests parking in these locations are subject to ticketing or potentially towing.
Event Map
Please note: no dogs or other pets are permitted on the BSV grounds; service animals only.
