Milwaukee’s Original Oktoberfest is the longest-running celebration of its kind in the city. Rooted in almost a century of tradition, our fest brings the true spirit of Munich to Wisconsin with authentic German beer, food, music, and family-friendly fun. Join in the Biergarden or Festhall for steins, sausages, and live polka—this is Oktoberfest as it was meant to be experienced. Held at the historic Bavarian Bierhaus and Old Heidelberg Park.

Traditional Biergarten Menu:

Our Biergarten menu features classic German favorites made to pair perfectly with our house-brewed beers. Enjoy hearty bratwurst, schnitzel, Döner kebabs, soft pretzels, sauerkraut, and warm potato salad. Finish your meal with a slice of fresh apple strudel—all served in a relaxed, communal setting that captures the spirit of a true Bavarian Biergarten.

Live Music Schedule:

The heartbeat of the fest! Our stage comes alive with traditional German polka, festive folk tunes, and high-energy party bands that keep the steins swinging and the crowd dancing. Whether it’s a lederhosen-clad oompah band or a local favorite rocking the beer garden, the music is loud, lively, and full of Gemütlichkeit!
