"A long-running, authentic Bavarian-style Oktoberfest featuring hundreds of beer taps, local German bands, traditional German foods like bratwurst and wiener schnitzel, and fun competitions such as the Dachshund Dash, bier barrel races, and stein carrying and holding contests." - Emily Cappiello

I come every year and have loads of fun. This was my second year doing the Lederhosen Lauf (5k race). I really enjoy that the tapping of the Keg is right before race start. The final picture was from the halfway point of the 5k across the river. Just an amazing evening.

Amazing experience! Everything from the shuttle to the entry was seamless. Welcomed quickly by the food trucks and music. Both of which were great! All of the workers were friendly and all of the beer lines moved fast! Plenty of options for every single person's preference. Will be back every year!

Had a nice time. Food was mid to high priced. Super crowded for the 2nd night opened. Just a lot of people having a good time

Definitely worth it. If you come you’ll see why it’s ranked in the top 5 Oktoberfest events in the country! Parking is a small issue but they have free shuttles to various parking lots so plan accordingly. The food is delicious, the drinks are good and the bands are phenomenal. It’s a four day event allowing plenty of chances to attend. The group that oversees it also needs plenty of volunteers which means you can help out and still have fun.

They had no parking at the venue. How do you host an event and not have parking? The only option was to park in a parking garage downtown and shuttle or get an Uber.
