A 1926 clubhouse on the National Register of Historic Places hosts an Oktoberfest this Saturday, Oct. 17, 6 p.m. — inside one of Dade City’s actual historic landmarks rather than a rented event hall.
The Dade City Woman’s Club runs the event out of its own clubhouse at 37922 Palm Ave, a Prairie School building with Mediterranean Revival touches that’s been listed on the National Register since 2003. Specific details on the evening’s menu and activities weren’t posted on the club’s own site as of this writing; the club’s rental office, (352) 521-0766, is the best way to confirm particulars before you go.
What is confirmed: the date, time, and location, directly from the Woman’s Club’s own events listing. If you’re weighing this against the Rocky Horror run happening the same weekend at Richey Suncoast Theatre across the county, Oktoberfest is the earlier and tamer option — a 6 p.m. start rather than an 8 p.m. one, and no age restriction attached.
Dade City’s historic downtown already draws a steady trickle of day-trip traffic for its antique shops and the Pioneer Florida Museum a few minutes away; an evening event inside one of its own landmark buildings is a reason to make the stop after dark instead.
Good to know: 37922 Palm Ave, Dade City, FL 33525. Saturday, Oct. 17, 6 p.m. Call (352) 521-0766 to confirm ticket details.
