Prost! Mark your calendars and plan to celebrate Oktoberfest locally and enjoy culture, music, beer, and delicious foods. Oktoberfest is an annual 16-day-long Volksfest that originated in Germany in the 1800s and celebrates Bavarian culture, but the festivities are widely famous for the amount of beer consumed. Despite the name, Oktoberfest is held from mid-September to early October.
From bar hopping to beer gardens, you can check out Oktoberfest at several locations in Greater Orlando and surround yourself with the beauty of Bavaria without hopping on a plane.
