Waverly Oktoberfest

10/15/2026

The sky over Waverly Oktoberfest lights up thanks to Nestlé, our fireworks sponsor! 🎆

Nestlé's Waverly operations sit along the Cedar River not far from the Rail Trail Bridge where the fireworks are launched. t's the only place in the U.S. and Canada that makes powdered Chocolate Nesquik. That's why some days Waverly smells like cocoa.

Thank you to Nestlé and the many neighbors and friends who work there for helping us end the night with a bang in our 10th year!

Monday night WSR Girls Rugby celebrated Senior Night with 2 wins. Afterward, Isaiah and Jen from Waverly Oktoberfest presented the team with a check - a small token of our appreciation for the help they provided for setup and tear down for this year's festival.

Sunday, these ladies will be going to State as the #1 seed. Looking for the 3-Peat! Let's Go Hawks!

The Bierhalle at Waverly Oktoberfest was brought to you by Nagle Signs Inc. 🍺

Nagle Signs has been a family-owned sign company since 1978, starting in Waterloo and growing into one of the most respected sign shops in the Midwest. They design, build, install, and service signs for businesses across Iowa, and chances are you've driven past their work this weekend. Nearly every banner and yard sign you see during Oktoberfest is their design and productions (Thank you, Holly!).

Thank you, Nagle Signs, for helping us raise a glass to 10 years of Waverly Oktoberfest. Prost! 🍻
