JACKSON OKTOBERFEST
Downtown Jackson MO In partnership with Uptown Jackson Bring your 👢boots and your buddy, let’s have fun Oct 3rd!
Oktoberfest lets Jackson stay out late. Early on the beer gardens run on Bavarian music and giant steins, later it's dancing, with the polka strictly optional. The food covers everything between, bratwurst and pretzels on nearly every menu and long tables that grow through the evening. Or is a good beer with friends the honest plan? Take a look at Oktoberfest 2026 events and parties across Jackson, find one that fits, and book your tickets before they're gone.
