10 Best Oktoberfests In Oklahoma

There’s something a little funny about Oktoberfest in Oklahoma.

We are obviously not Germany. We’re not even particularly close to Germany. Yet every fall, towns all across the state find an excuse to put on lederhosen, pour some German beer, and pretend we know what we’re doing with a stein.

I think we're all perfectly fine with that.

The funny thing is, Oklahoma has three types of Oktoberfests, and they're all super different. You’ve got the massive celebrations that basically take over a town for a weekend, complete with German music, giant beer tents, food, dancing, and enough bratwurst to make you crave fiber...

Then there are the smaller community festivals. They might take over the park for a day or two and feel more like a small party with the smallest German accent. Maybe a little live music, a few food vendors, and plenty of beer and well-mannered families.

And then there are the brewery Oktoberfests, which really don’t need much explanation. Find a brewery, add an Oktoberfest beer, throw some pretzels and brats into the equation, and suddenly you have a festival.

Some of these celebrations have been around for decades, while others are relatively new additions to Oklahoma’s fall calendar. That’s part of what makes this list interesting.

So whether you want the big Bavarian-style experience, a family-friendly community festival, or just an excuse to drink locally brewed beer while wearing something you’d never normally wear, Oklahoma has an Oktoberfest for you.

Here are 10 of the best Oktoberfests happening around Oklahoma every year.
