Twin Cities Oktoberfest

Ranked among the top Oktoberfests in the nation, Twin Cities Oktoberfest is the crown jewel of metro celebrations. Now in its 15th year, it showcases local breweries like Utepils, Pryes, Lift Bridge, and Minneapolis Cider Company while also featuring hearty food from Gerhard’s Brats, Aki’s BreadHaus, and Sara’s Tipsy Pies. The entertainment is just as rich, with polka, folk bands, and S.G. Edelweiss dancers filling the Progress Center with music and movement. Admission to the grounds is free, with a wristband required to consume alcohol. All ages are welcome. More info at tcoktoberfest.com.
