Organizers have announced former Barenaked Ladies frontman and solo artist Steven Page will make a stop in the region for festivities this fall.

He will be the headliner October 10 on the Circle K stage in Downtown Kitchener.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Steven Page to Oktoberfest,” said Tracy Van Kalsbeek, Executive Director.

“His music has shaped the Canadian soundscape for decades, and we know he’ll bring an unforgettable energy.”

It’s all part of the Willkommen Platz free outdoor celebration space where thousands will gather to celebrate all things Bavarian.

Performances by Canadian rock band The Watchmen, Polka King Walter Ostanek, UN Jefferson, and Jessie T will also be featured this year.

K-W Oktoberfest runs from September 26 to October 18.
