Forks & Corks 2026 | Radisson Hotel
June 4 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for an evening of exceptional food and curated wine pairings in support of the Gemütlichkeit Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of Oktoberfest USA.
This evening plays a vital role in supporting local students. Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship secured funds scholarships throughout our area. We’re proud to host this year’s event at a new location, the Radisson Ballroom in La Crosse.
The evening will feature silent and live auctions and will also serve as the official unveiling of the 2026 Oktoberfest Button by La Crosse Festivals, Inc. Guests will be among the first to see the design that will represent the upcoming Oktoberfest festival.
