Addison Oktoberfest set to return September 19-22

Addison Oktoberfest, presented by Paulaner, has been recognized as one of best recreations of the famed Munich festival since its first brought prosts and polkas to North Texas 37 years ago.

For four days each September, people come together in Addison to revel in German culture, food, music and bier, enjoying a taste of the original Oktoberfest with a purely Texan twist.

The annual fest is timed to coincide with the opening of the legendary Munich festival.

Experience the sounds of polka bands and other traditional entertainers on multiple stages in Addison Circle Park and participate in special games for bier lovers, kids of all ages, dachshunds and more. Prost and polka hard in our open-air Partyhalle, where you can find the best in Addison Oktoberfest entertainment.

Oktoberfest guests, who visit Addison from all over the Southwest and beyond, will enjoy fun contests such as dachshund races, bier barrel rolling, Masskrugstemmen (stein holding), Biergarten Bingo and more. The event offers fun for all ages, with special activities for kids, and unique shopping opportunities in the Marktplatz as well as a colorful carnival. Don’t forget your dirndl and lederhosen – dressing for the occasion is enthusiastically encouraged.
