From Freighthouse to Fest: restaurant owners Jon and Jane Erickson are 2026 Festmaster and Frau for La Crosse’s Oktoberfest
The secret is now out. La Crosse’s 2026 Festmaster for Oktoberfest is Freighthouse restaurant owner Jon Erickson. Jon and his wife Jane made their public debut as the reigning couple of this year’s fest at the Festmaster’s Ball on Wednesday. Erickson tells us that back in April, on his daughter’s birthday, he was visited by two past Festmasters, Mike Bakalars and Terry Cowgill, bearing an envelope from Forks and Corks, the summer event where the Oktoberfest button design is usually unveiled. Jon has worked on that event, and he says “I just thought they had some more information, seating, something like that, and they handed me the envelope,” and inside, “there was my feather,” indicating he had been selected as Festmaster.
