Not your grandma’s Oktoberfest

Bring your steins, dirndls, and lederhosen - Munich’s favorite fest arrives in downtown Portland this fall! It's Oktoberfest at Pioneer Courthouse Square - September 20th and 21st, 2024. 

With its picturesque setting in the heart of the city, Portland Oktoberfest invites locals and visitors alike to experience an unforgettable fusion of German heritage and Oregonian flair. Indulge in authentic Bavarian delights, with mouthwatering bratwursts and soft pretzels from Portland’s Urban German Wursthaus.

Catch traditional polka bands and a variety of live bands all day Friday and Saturday.
