Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for the newsletter on the group's site, then come to a public event such as Roxtoberfest, held on Ridge Avenue each fall..

What to expect

The 2026 Roxtoberfest ran noon to 6 pm on Ridge Avenue, with live music on three stages, beer gardens, food, a dog costume parade and a wellness village with health screenings. The site calls it a community and family festival and says it draws more than 10,000 visitors. The site does not say whether admission is free.

Tips for your first visit

  • Many listings give only a date, so check the events page close to the day for the time and place.
  • Email info@roxboroughpa.com with questions about cost or tickets before a workshop or event.
  • If you run a business or make things to sell, ask about vendor and sponsor spots by email; the site sends those questions to a named staff member.
