The Augustoberfest Charitable Foundation is proud to announce that the 2024 event will be held on August 17th & 18th at the Washington County Agricultural Center. We have begun seeking sponsors for this historic event that pays tribute to our area’s rich German heritage and supports Hagerstown’s Sister City Foundation, as well as other local non-profit organizations like Boys & Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Women’s Club of Hagerstown. Your contribution helps to defray the significant expenses of running this exciting event, and could not occur without the generous support of our sponsors.

Our two-day festival boasts festivities found at traditional Oktoberfest celebrations in Bavaria. The attendance of this event has grown exponentially and is one of the most anticipated festivals in the region. On both Saturday and Sunday, participants will have a chance to enjoy an authentic Bavarian experience. All of our entertainment offers a glimpse into German culture and folklore through authentic song and dance. The 2023 festival featured many new and expanded offerings! Thanks to the feedback from our patrons and sponsors we are looking forward to continuing to enhance the authentic Bavarian festival experience for all in 2024.

All sponsorship opportunities provide benefits to promote your organization, as we believe this should be just as beneficial for you as it is for us and our patrons. Each opportunity listed below outlines if the sponsorship is cash or in-kind and what benefits are included.  We are happy to share that the popular Frühschoppen (German brunch) which features all the best of Bavarian food and drink will continue. Sponsorship packages at the $1,000 level and above include tickets for delicious food and drink at the Sunday event held between 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Please take a moment to read the information below regarding our sponsorships and the benefits of being a sponsor.  Should you have any questions regarding sponsorship, please contact cody@augustoberfest.org and a member of our sponsorship committee will be in touch as quickly as possible!
