In the early 1970s, members of the Seymour Jaycees, a civic group of young men interested in community service, visited Tell City, Indiana, where a street festival was being held by its citizens. The idea of a German festival celebrating the culture and heritage of Seymour was created. It became a reality when the inaugural Oktoberfest was held the first weekend in October 1973, and the first year featured a mayor’s reception, carnival rides, entertainment, a flea market, Prince and Princess contests, antiques, and a parade.
