Prost & Pearls: Celebrate Oktoberfest at ilani! Ridgefield, WA

When: October 10th and 11th!

Get ready to raise a glass and celebrate the season! I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be bringing my handcrafted jewelry to the ilani Oktoberfest in Ridgefield, WA, this October 10th and 11th, 2026.

Transforming the Cowlitz Ballroom into a traditional Bavarian-style celebration, this event is the perfect way to embrace the autumn spirit in the Pacific Northwest. Whether you're a fan of authentic German lager, hearty food, or unique artisan finds, this is a weekend you won’t want to miss.


A Bavarian Experience in Ridgefield

Oktoberfest at ilani is more than just a beer festival—it’s a full cultural experience. While you explore the ballroom, you’ll find:

Traditional Pours: Sample a wide variety of authentic German imports and local craft "Festbiers."

Hearty Fare: Indulge in classic Bavarian treats like bratwursts, schnitzel, and soft pretzels.

Live Entertainment: Expect high-energy music and a festive atmosphere that will have you reaching for your lederhosen.

The Artisan Marketplace: I’ll be set up with my latest jewelry designs, offering a sophisticated counterpoint to the rustic festival vibes.


Fall Jewelry Favorites

As the weather turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to update your accessory game with richer tones and classic metals. At my booth, I’ll be showcasing:

Autumnal Gemstones: Deeply colored semi-precious stones and warm pearls that pair perfectly with fall sweaters and scarves.

Hand-Forged Gold: Timeless 14k gold and 24k gold vermeil pieces that add a touch of elegance to any festive outfit.

Statement Sterling: Handcrafted silver designs that capture the cool, clean light of the coming season.
