2019 Feline Festmeister Nominations Are Now Closed
The festmeister, or "festival master," is the leader of Oktoberfest and presides over the celebration. However, the Oktopurrfest Feline Festmeister, generally not tolerant of large social gatherings, music and merriment, presides from his or her home base. This, however, does not diminish the importance or significance of the role. Clearly, someone must be in charge.
The first Oktopurrfest Festmeister was Brian Williams, appointed in 2016. Since that time, Mr. Williams has held the position with dignity and authority. But on October 23, 2019, the hat will be passed on.
We are seeking nominations of a new festival leader.
