PROST WITH THE MOST
Celebrate Oktoberfest in Minneapolis with one of the Twin Cities’ most traditional Oktoberfest experiences, featuring the area’s largest selection of German beer served under a massive festival tent inspired by the beer tents of Munich.
Raise a stein of German favorites from Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr and more, with Oktoberfest, Festbier, Hefeweizen and other classic styles filling your steins throughout the two-weekend celebration. Plus, enjoy Fulton’s own locally brewed traditional German-style Festbier.
Live music, traditional Bavarian dancers, stein-holding competitions, wiener tossing, German food and plenty more fill the tent all weekend.

FREQUENTLY ASKED FESTIONS
NOT AT THE TAPROOM! Fulton Oktoberfest takes place at our HQ/production brewery in NE Minneapolis at 2540 NE 2nd St. Please double-check your destination before heading out so you don’t end up waiting for a polka band that's never coming to the taproom.
Yes! Fulton Oktoberfest is always free to attend. There are no tickets required and no admission fee at the door. Just show up ready to fest.
All Oktoberfest seating is first come, first served and community-style, just like the big beer tents in Munich. You may end up sharing a table with some new friends. We think that’s part of the fun.
Limited parking is available on-site, with additional street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Rideshares and bikes are strongly encouraged whenever possible.
Please do! Mother Earth and Fulton both approve. Bring your own 0.5L or 1L stein and skip purchasing one at the event. Just make sure it’s clean, empty, and ready for beer.
Our event emcee will start recruiting participants about 30 minutes before each competition. Game times are approximate and may shift throughout the day, so keep an ear out for announcements under the big tent. Participants must be 21+.
Absolutely. Fulton Oktoberfest is an all-ages event, and little humans are very welcome. Our Kinderhaus features a dedicated shaded family area with seating, crafts, games, activities, and plenty of kid-friendly fun. See the Kinderhaus section above for hours and details.
Always. Oktoberfest goes on rain or shine, and our massive festival tent means the festing doesn’t have to stop if the weather turns wet.
Plenty! In addition to all that German beer, we’ll have a full lineup of non-alcoholic options, including our brand-new N/A Lonely Blonde, soda, and water. Prost doesn’t require proof.
No. We love your furry friends, but for the safety and comfort of everyone under the big tent, please leave pets at home.
Our Oktoberfest kitchen is a small outdoor operation with a limited event menu and shared cooking, prep, and fryer spaces, so we’re unable to accommodate all dietary preferences, allergies, or restrictions. Please ask our staff about ingredients before ordering so they can help you determine which options may work for you.
We sure do! If your company or group wants an Oktoberfest celebration of its own, our events team can help. Contact events@fultonbeer.com for more information.
