Holy Comforter Lutheran Church Announces Oktoberfest 2026! - Kingwood

It is that time again. Time to put on the lederhosen, get your mug ready and be prepared for the time-honored chant of “ZICKE ZACKE, ZICKE ZACKE, HOI HOI HOI!” The Kingwood Oktoberfest (TKO) is right around the corner, and we are so excited to welcome you! Holy Comforter Lutheran Church started The Kingwood Oktoberfest to share the love of Christ by inviting the community to our cozy campus for fellowship and fun! Kingwood’s original Oktoberfest, The Kingwood Oktoberfest (TKO) will once again be “rolling out” barrels of fun on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Holy Comforter Lutheran Church (1901 Woodland Hills Drive). 

In 2016, The Kingwood OKTOBERFEST (TKO) debuted, earning prestigious recognition as one of the “Top Ten Events of Kingwood” by The Kingwood Observer. Fast forward to 2026, TKO has grown and expanded and will once again welcome the community with food, entertainment, fellowship and friendly faces. This year we will feature captivating performances by the Kingwood High School German Club dancers, who bring cultural German flair to the festivities. The air will once again be filled with the lively tunes of the Texas Sound Check Band, delighting the crowd with their authentic German Polka. Attendees can also indulge in mouthwatering German inspired cuisine, savoring every bite of the traditional fare, and local craft beer from DECA Beer Co. Our children’s area continues to grow with a trackless train, inflatables, face painting, games, and activities for children of all ages to enjoy! 

We will also have our 5th annual The Kingwood Oktoberfest Costume Contest, Sponsored by The Cove for children and adults. This year we will also have a Vendor Marketplace for your shopping pleasure! We still have a few booths left, if you’d like to be a vendor, see details at www.KWoktoberfest.org or contact Judy Browder at jkbrowder@yahoo.com.

The doors will open from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 dollars for children three to twelve years old. Children under 3 are free. Cash and debit or credit cards will be accepted at the front gate, or you can purchase tickets in advance (coming soon) at www.KWoktoberfest.org. Proceeds from this community event benefit the ministries of Holy Comforter Lutheran Church & School. Last year we also contributed a portion of the proceeds toward Kerr County flood relief through Lutheran World Relief.
