Originally envisioned as a two block community affair, Manteno Oktoberfest now encompasses five blocks of Main Street.  People from ages one to 100 enjoy the many activities Manteno Oktoberfest has to offer. From exciting carnival rides and ethnic food vendors to family entertainment to parades - there is something or everyone.
