Join us for a spectacular celebration as Tuscaloosa transforms Government Plaza into a vibrant hub of German Culture and festivity. With our rich connections to Germany, we desire to create an authentic festival for everyone located in the heart of Downtown Tuscaloosa. Delight in a day of family-friendly fun, live music featuring Oompah-Calypse and other bands, activities and contests, good food, and of course… beer! Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Tuscaloosa Oktoberfest!
So much more than a beer festival!
Run the streets of Downtown Tuscaloosa with an Oktoberfest themed race! Replenish stations will look at little different compared to your normal 5k… we’re talking pretzels, sausages, drinks and more! Each race participant will receive free entry into Oktoberfest and will get their first beer free (for those 21+).
