About the event

Oktoberfest at Des Moines Biergarten
Join us for Des Moines' Oktoberfest!

The new Oktoberfest event will take place within the existing Des Moines Biergarten footprint and stage area at Water Works Park, transforming the space into a lively, three-day celebration featuring live music, expanded food and beverage options, and a full lineup of traditional games and competitions.

Traditional activities include:
• Stein holding contests
• Stein racing
• Pretzel eating contest
• Costume contest
• Beer keg race
• Keg holding contest
• Pretzel toss
• Oktoberfest trivia

The Biergarten has always been about creating a space that’s welcoming, relaxed, and family-friendly — and we wanted to bring that same spirit to our Oktoberfest.

This will be a celebration for everyone: steins of great beer, live music, more food options than ever, and classic Oktoberfest games — all set in the park we love.

We’ll be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day, with the possibility of staying open a bit later depending on the final schedule.

The event is free and open to all.

Come raise a stein with us. More details to follow!
