Admission is $5 for adults 21 years and older. All proceeds will benefit the Zionsville Food Pantry, The Caring Center and other Knights of Columbus charities.

Deemed as "The Best Night Out in Zionsville," the annual Oktoberfest has attracted more than 600 guests to this evening of fun while building awareness and support for charitable causes.
