This weekend is going to be beautiful. There's lots to do outside in Kingman.

Enjoy a cool autumn day in Historic Downtown Kingman at the annual Fall Festival & Parade. There will be a parade, Oktoberfest serving brats and beer, entertainment and a variety of arts & crafts vendors. The parade begins at 10:00am on Saturday on Rt 66, Downtown Kingman. The festivities continue till 5:00pm on Saturday and Sunday 10:00 am - 3:00pm.

2009 is the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Kingman Powerhouse. Once an oil powered generating station, the Powerhouse was put into disuse with the opening of the Hoover Dam in 1939. The Powerhouse began construction in 1907 and was completed in 1909 with the firing up of the generators on July 31st thus supplying electricity to downtown businesses as well as Chloride, Oatman, Mineral Park, and surrounding mines and during the construction of Hoover Dam. Ironically, she was shut down and became a substation when Hoover Dam went online. The Powerhouse fell into disrepair and was threatened by the wrecking ball. But thanks to the efforts of Toby Orr and the Powerhouse Gang, the Powerhouse was saved. She was given a new look and face lift. In 1997, she opened up as the Powerhouse Visitor Center.

Octoberfest!
While you're enjoying the Fall Festival at Locomotive Park come across the street to the Powerhouse Visitor Center parking lot for Oktoberfest. The fun will include live music, beer, brats and sauerkraut, and you can watch the football games. Must be 21 to enter the beer garden area.
Saturday Oct 17 - 10:00am to 10:00pm
Sunday Oct 18 - 10:00am - 4:00pm
