Town of Ferdinand

Ferdinand Walktoberfest

Join us every October for Ferdinand’s Walktoberfest, a vibrant celebration of fall that brings our community together for a day of free, family-friendly fun. Stroll through the charming streets of Ferdinand, where the sights, smells, and sounds of autumn fill the air. Immerse yourself in seasonal activities like pumpkin decorating, hayrides, and craft stations for kids of all ages. Our local fire and police departments host a “Touch-a-Truck” event, and the Dubois County Humane Society offers “Pet a Pup” for some furry fun.


Enjoy live demonstrations, cozy up with fresh cinnamon rolls and hot coffee, or warm your soul with homemade soups and breads from local food trucks. Be sure to stop by for storytime with our Police Chief and enjoy storewide sales, giveaways, and photo ops throughout town. With fall foliage as the backdrop and a lineup of community-focused activities, Ferdinand’s Walktoberfest is the perfect way to celebrate the season. 

Whether you’re savoring the flavors of autumn or simply exploring our town’s unique shops and businesses, it’s a day for making memories that will last a lifetime.
