We are thrilled to announce that Oktoberfest Findlay is an official partner and host of the US Steinholding Association. What is Steinholding you ask? Well Steinholding is a traditional Bavarian strength contest in which competitors hold a full one-liter beer stein (or Masskrug/Mass in German) out in front of their bodies with a straight arm, parallel to the ground. You go as long as you can and the last person holding with good form is the winner. It requires strength, stamina, and strong willpower NOT to drink the beer!! It is loads of fun and will culminate in the qualifiers going to represent Oktoberfest Findlay at the Ohio state championship on Saturday October 14th, 2023 in Hamilton, Ohio!
Men and women will compete against each other in the same time slots. However, a separate men’s and women’s champion will be recognized at the end of the festival.
Please note: you must be present at the event are at your designated time or you will forfeit your spot and entry fee.
