SIX DAYS OF OKTOBERFEST FUN!
From bier barrel racing to stein hoisting and live music, there’s something here for Oktoberfest pros and first timers. Huge Zelts (tents), modeled after the Munich Oktoberfest, feature more than 103 different biers and eleven stages of entertainment.
A popular carnival offers rides for all ages. Kids 12 and under are free all days when accompanied by parents or guardians.
Special Experiences starting on Tuesday evening offer enriching programs to take you even further into one of the most truly authentic German Oktoberfests in the country!
