WALLAROBBA Memorial Hall is set to transform into a slice of Bavaria on Saturday 11 October, for the much-anticipated 2025 Wallarobba Hall Oktoberfest and Sausage Dog Races.
From 12pm to 5pm, locals and visitors alike can enjoy an afternoon of music, food, beer, wine and cider, with the highlight of the day being the famous Dachshund Dash, which kicks off at 2pm.
This year’s event promises to be bigger and better, with an exciting program of races and activities for both dogs and their humans.
There will be medals up for grabs in several categories, including “Posh Dach” for best dressed, “Flash Dach” for the fastest sausage dog sprint, and the popular “Olympics Steeplechase” obstacle course.
Clever canines can also compete in “Smart Sausage”, showing off their best tricks, while other breeds can join in the fun with the Open Steeplechase.
There’s even a Kids Steeplechase for little ones who want to try the obstacles themselves.
Entry is $5 per person with kids free.
Dog lovers can register their pooch for the Dachshund Dash for $5.
Event organisers say this is “the greatest race to be seen.”
The event runs from Midday to 5 pm at Wallarobba Memorial Hall, with the Dachshund Races at 2 pm.
