The Great Northwest Oktoberfest is all about winding down the busy summer season, blowing off some steam and having fun! We are looking for the kind of Hop Queen that embodies the qualities that the community of Whitefish has come to relish in its absolute relentless pursuit of fun.
What does the Hop Queen Do?
You are the face of Oktoberfest, promoting the event and Montana beer! You must be spontaneous, enjoy being on stage, fun, creative, outgoing, and lighthearted. It’s all about having fun and make memories with your guests in the Great Northwest Oktoberfest. You’ll also have the opportunity to be a part of 2020 Winter Carnival Parade and be invited to other notable personal appearance events during the year.
