St. Paul Oktoberfest
- This event has passed.

St. Paul Oktoberfest is back on the beautiful grounds of the Germanic-American Institute. Just like the Munich original, we celebrate in September when the weather is better!
Oktoberfest is synonymous with beer, and this year, we will have an even larger selection than ever. The iconic Paulaner is imported directly from Munich and our local brewer, Utepils, is based in Minneapolis. We’ll also feature an array of foods, from German favorites Gerhard’s bratwurst, Aki’s pretzels, RJ’s Meats Currywurst and Burbach’s potato pancakes to international fare including Twin Cities Gyro and tacos from La Costeñita food truck. With non-stop entertainment and fun for the whole family, it’s a two-day celebration of German food, beer, and culture!
Friday, September 9 | 4–10 PM
Saturday, September 10 | 10 AM–10 PM
