Raise a stein in the heart of Downtown! Asheville Oktoberfest returns to Pack Square Park for a full day of music, games, and German-inspired flare—this year the event is free and open to the public.

Taste the region: More than 20 Western North Carolina breweries and beverage producers are joining us, each bringing up to three styles—that’s 60+ beverages to explore.

Level up with a Prost Pass: Upgrade your day with a commemorative tasting cup + 20 tastes from participating breweries. Quantities are limited. (21+ only; valid ID required.)

On stage & in the park: Enjoy classic oompah energy from Lagerhosen and a hometown set from The Hillclimbers. Test your skills (or cheer from the sidelines) at the crowd-favorite Oktoberfest Games, sponsored by Aloft + Moxy Hotels.

Eat like you mean it: Your favorite food trucks will be serving German flavors—look for Haus Heidelberg and more.

Good to know: Entry is free; purchases required for food and the Prost Pass tasting experience. Family-friendly atmosphere; please drink responsibly.

Prost! See you in Pack Square Park on October 4.
