McKinney Oktoberfest is Born
Ron and Alev are still active in the community – particularly in support of McKinney Oktoberfest. They coordinate international entertainers, help obtain corporate sponsorships and advise on site logistics and how best to improve overall experience at the event. The Wielands are an excellent example of McKinney’s community spirit!
A Family-friendly Tradition
Now celebrating its tenth year, McKinney Oktoberfest draws close to 50,000 attendees and attracts visitors from all over north Texas. Tapping into the colorful tradition that began in Munich, Germany in 1810, McKinney Oktoberfest is a family-friendly event with authentic German music, food and drink, traditional costumes, dancing and children’s activities while staying honoring the many cultural contributions of German immigrants who settled in Texas.
On behalf of the Wielands, McKinney Main Street and the City of McKinney, thank you and - prost! Cheers!
