Polka, pilsners and pretzels—these are a few of our favorite Oktoberfest things. From late September through early October, few things this side of the State Fair of Texas signal the arrival of fall more than the German celebration of Bavarian culture and beer. Lots and lots of beer. From a big citywide festival to smaller gatherings at breweries and other venues, here’s where to embrace the Oktoberfest spirit.

On Rotation Brewery & Kitchen

Join the fun for Oktoberfest Fest Fest, a four-day event from Thursday, September 19 through Sunday, September 22. On Rotation works tirelessly to tap as many Oktoberfest brews as possible (including their own house brew for the occasion), with live music and German food favorites completing the vibe.
