St Paul Oktoberfest

Festival experience

Minnesota's most authentic Oktoberfest

Produced by the Germanic-American Institute, St. Paul Oktoberfest is Minnesota's most authentic Oktoberfest! Just like the Munich original, our festival is held in September. Our beer is imported directly from Munich and our food is from local German restaurants. With fun for the whole family, it's a two day celebration of German heritage and culture on the beautiful grounds of the old Schmidt Brewery.
