The beer is cold, the pretzels are warm, and Octoberfest is back for two very different days of celebrating.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2 • OCTOBERFEST AFTER DARK
Same fest. Different glow.
Octoberfest gets a glow up. We’re turning down the lights and turning up the party with black lights, DJs, dance floors, glow-in-the-dark games, and plenty of beer. Grab your crew, break out the neon, and kick off the weekend after dark.
TICKETS STARTING AT JUST $15!
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 TRADITIONAL OCTOBERFEST
The classic. Cranked up.
Oompah music. Stein hoisting. Pretzel eating. Chicken dancing. Cold beer. All the Octoberfest traditions you know and love are back—plus even more games and reasons to raise a stein.
TICKETS STARTING AT JUST $15!
