On October 2, 2025, the Magnifi Financial Foundation hosted its annual Oktoberfest-themed event at Milk & Honey Ciders in St. Joseph, MN.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, sponsors, and attendees, the Magnifi Financial Foundation's Oktoberfest and Ciderfest raised over $53,000 in support of the Foundation's mission.
It was a perfect day for live music, stein-holding competitions, cider tastings, bean bags, a bourbon pull, a bourbon raffle, a silent auction, a meat raffle, 50/50 drawings, and plenty of networking, all in true Oktoberfest style. Every dollar raised will directly support our mission to advance charitable initiatives across the 32 counties we serve.
We are truly grateful to our generous sponsors and participants for making our first annual Oktoberfest event a success!
