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 10 p.m. each day..

The event is free and open to all.
