Thu, Oct 1Richard-Hartmann -Platz, 09111 Chemnitz, Germany
Oktoberfest gives Leipzig a night out. Beer festivals and beer gardens bring live music, giant steins and dancing, and the polka has never been compulsory. Come with people and the eating starts on its own, bratwurst and pretzels going round the long tables all evening. If a good beer with friends is the whole idea, keep it. Browse Oktoberfest 2026 events and parties across Leipzig, find one that fits, and book your tickets before they're taken.
