Oktoberfest / Centennial Park

These two parks are located in the heart of Minster, and are most commonly known as the home of the annual Minster Oktoberfest.

Minster Machine Centennial Park on the north of Fourth Street, features a newly remodeled Gazebo with a beautiful mosaic dance/seating area, as well as plenty of open green space for use during summer time concerts and events. Centennial Park also houses the Veterans Memorial, where we proudly raise our flags.

Oktoberfest Park on the south of Fourth Street features a large dance pad, utilized mostly during Oktoberfest, but has been beautifully constructed to represent the heritage of our Village crest.
