Taste of Oktoberfest

Events DC continues the first-ever International City Food Festival with Taste of Oktoberfest on Friday, October 14th in Franklin Park. The iconic Oktoberfest is a world-renowned German folk festival held annually in Munich, attracting more than six million people from around the world. Revelers flock to Bavaria in search of German beer, music and food. To honor and celebrate this long-standing tradition, Events DC has partnered with the German-American Heritage Foundation and the German Embassy to bring a truly authentic taste of the legendary festivities to DC.

The one-of-a-kind experience will feature food and drink from local German eateries as well as entertainment curated by the German Embassy. Enjoy a full Bavarian market offering everything from traditional Lebkuchen (gingerbread hearts), spiced nuts, and Kirchmayer Chocolates, as well as a range of German meats and sausages, strudels, pretzels and packaged foods. Entertainers will take the stage, including traditional Bavarian dancing (Schuhplatteln), and music (Alphorns and cowbells). Each Taste of Oktoberfest ticket includes a complimentary beer for attendees 21+ (ID required), and access to the Oktoberfest Market featuring a selection of beers, foods and goods. 

Presented by Events DC, with the support of German partners, this is the first event of its kind to bring the time-honored Bavarian tradition to downtown DC. Oktoberfest will be located in the beautifully renovated and reopened Franklin Park starting at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 14th. Tickets are $10 per person. For more information and tickets, please click here.
