Nashville Oktoberfest

It has been 4 years since we attended Nashville Oktoberfest & it was disappointing to see how small it was this year. The craft beer had almost doubled in price! And if you wanted the Erdinger German beer you had to go to a different tent. If you didn't know this ahead of time you could stand in a very long line to be disappointed. A good thing this year was they did away with the tokens & just went to cashless pay. It was still a fun time with the axe throwing, nail hammering, & vendors that were there.

Well organized Octoberfest in Nashville. Entry is free. Beer was $12 this year. For 2 beers and a stein, you pay $40. Many local vendor booths and food trucks were available. I wish there were more “German-themed” booths along with the clothing, jewelry etc. booths. The band performing live this year wasn’t great. The music they were playing before the band arrived was better, unfortunately. They kept the premises very clean. Many staff members were roaming around making sure everything was clean and under control. There’s a parking lot a couple of blocks away, where you can park your car. Plenty of portable restrooms were available on-site. Overall, I thought it was great, with some room for improvement next year.

Great festival, love the beer and food there, great music and entertainment, only could use more stations for tokens and beer stations, so people don't have to wait 30-45 minutes for a tokens and 30-45 minutes for a beer.

Very fun to look around. I got a turkey leg and some beer. It was amazing. Ah! Do not buy turkey leg from the big festival food court store because it's overpriced. Get it from an actual food truck.

We probably went on the busiest day at the busiest time (Saturday, mid-aft) so the lines for beer tokens and then beer were long. But once you got your pints and found the stage it was good times.

Attended on Saturday 2022, absolutely perfect weather for it. I had VIP passes. No wait for beer and the food was surprisingly good, ultimately worth the price considering the value of your time and the beer lines outside the VIP area. Only two German beer choices but they were quality breweries. Without the VIP pass, waiting an hour for beer makes this event a real challenge. Need twice as many beer sales outlets. Need to put more German things into this event. Besides some of the food offerings, a couple of German beers and the OOM-PAPA band, this is more of a street festival than an Oktoberfest. Zum Wohl!

I was really looking forward to coming to this since we missed it the last couple of years. I was highly disappointed. We paid $40 for parking, $10 for general admission, and $45 for 40 oz of beer to keep the stein. It took me about 10 minutes to walk all the vendors. But I can say we enjoyed the food. If you're local, stay home.

Insanely busy. If you're planning on going get the vip. The vip is worth it just for the bathrooms but you also get amazing food cold beer and is an all around great experience.
