Saline Oktoberfest is back September 19–20, 2025 — and this year we celebrate our 20th anniversary! For two decades, we’ve raised our steins to celebrate German culture, community pride, and the vibrancy of downtown Saline.
This isn’t just a party — it’s Saline Main Street’s biggest fundraiser of the year, powering projects and events that keep our downtown thriving year-round.
✅ Kickoff with the Tapping of the Golden Keg
✅ Crowd-favorites like Wiener Dog Races, Hammerspiel & Stein Holding
✅ Live music, dancing, authentic food & beer 🍺
✅ Kinderplatz fun for families
✅ And exclusive 20th Anniversary steins & merch 🎁
Mark your calendars, gather your crew, and be part of the tradition that keeps downtown strong.

Moderate rain, with a high of 50 and low of 20 degrees. Overcast in the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon and evening, patchy rain nearby overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
