On nowBuffalo runs Oktoberfest for weeks. Early on the beer halls run on live music and giant steins, later it's dancing, and knowing the polka has never mattered. The food works the full shift, bratwurst and pretzels on nearly every menu and long tables that fill up on their own. Or is one good beer with friends the whole of it? Browse Oktoberfest 2026 events and parties across Buffalo, check the dates and venues, and book your tickets before they're taken.
