Arundel Group Holdings Sponsors Southlake Oktoberfest
3 minute read
Prost to Community!
Arundel Group Holdings was proud to sponsor one of North Texas’ biggest fall celebrations — Southlake Oktoberfest, hosted in Southlake Town Square. This event draws more than 100,000 visitors each year and has become a beloved local tradition celebrating community, culture, and of course — a little friendly competition.
This year, we were honored to sponsor the fan-favorite Wiener Dog Races, where the fastest (and cutest) pups in Texas stole the show! Our team also had the opportunity to address the crowd, thanking everyone for coming out and sharing a few words about our growing presence here in Southlake.
A Festival with History (and Heart)
The roots of Oktoberfest go all the way back to 1810 in Munich, Germany, when the very first festival was held to celebrate a royal wedding. Today, Oktoberfest events worldwide pay tribute to that spirit of togetherness — and Southlake’s version is one of the most recognized in the region.
Since its beginning over 20 years ago, Southlake Oktoberfest has grown into a massive community event featuring live music, artisan vendors, German food, and the ever-popular Dachshund races. For Arundel Group Holdings, it was the perfect opportunity to blend our community involvement with our company culture of connection and fun.
Digging In — Literally!
At our Arundel Group booth, we brought a little bit of our construction side to the festival with a hands-on excavation game, inspired by our company ECG Site Services. Kids (and plenty of adults) got to move some dirt and test their skills — a playful nod to the work we do building and supporting development projects across Texas.
We also handed out:
– Custom dog bowls
– Tons of dog treats, snacks, and Arundel water
– Branded bags and goodies
– Plenty of smiles and laughs!
Our booth was buzzing all weekend, and we’re so thankful for everyone who stopped by, shared a story, and joined in the fun.
Growing Roots in Southlake
Since opening our doors here in Southlake last year, our team has made it a priority to become part of this tight-knit, green-spirited community. Sponsoring events like Oktoberfest helps us deepen those connections and show our commitment to being more than developers — we’re neighbors, partners, and active participants in the cities we serve.
We’re also proud to announce that we’re now official members of the Southlake Chamber of Commerce, another exciting step in building stronger relationships and supporting local growth.
Looking Ahead
At Arundel Group Holdings, we believe that strong communities build strong foundations — and we’re proud to continue investing in the people and places that make North Texas thrive. If you have an upcoming event or sponsorship opportunity, please share it with our team!
Networking Tips
1. Use Data as a Conversation Starter:
Instead of leading with small talk, share a market stat, zoning update, or permit trend. It shows insight and gets people talking about real opportunities instead of weather and golf scores. Smart data is the new handshake.
2. Collaborate on Content, Not Just Contracts:
Co-author a blog post, share a project spotlight, or co-host a site tour with another firm. Joint visibility turns casual contacts into invested allies—and it markets your expertise without feeling like a sales pitch.
3. Post With Purpose:
Every LinkedIn post doesn’t need to be a project update. Share lessons learned, highlight a partner’s success, or comment meaningfully on industry trends. The more you educate, the more your network sees you as a go-to resource.
