Oktoberfest in Boston

Octoberfest

Grab your lederhosen and hoist those steins in the air, it is time to celebrate Oktoberfest!

Originating in Germany, Oktoberfest is an annual celebration of Bavarian culture, and often includes lots of brats and beers. If you can't make it all the way to Munich, Boston will be a great place to celebrate. We have rounded up a collection of events for you to enjoy. Cheers!
