From: Tulsa Oktoberfest

Willkommen Zum Oktoberfest In Tulsa, Celebrating 44 Years!

6 Days Of Oktoberfest Fun!

Tulsa Oktoberfest celebrates authentic Bavarian culture in the heart of Oklahoma, in an incredible setting patterned after Oktoberfest Munich in Bavaria, Germany.

Pre-fest events kick off German week in Tulsa on Tuesday, with a private, authentic German Dinner in der Lufthansa Technik BierGarten (BierMeister's Ball), followed by our celebrated Gemütlichkeit on Wednesday evening. The Festival begins Thursday evening with Friends and Family night followed by Zeeco Family Free day on Friday. Festivities continue throughout the weekend and culminate with Früstück Auf Dem Oktoberfest and the zany Dachshund Dash.

Oktoberfest brings together international and local German bands, Bavarian delicacies and bier, arts, crafts, games, competitions and kids activities for the entire family.

Enjoy bratwurst, over 200 taps of German and local bieren, Bavarian cheesecake and strudel, wienerschnitzel, brats, great music, VIP experiences and thousands of your friends gathered at River West Festival Park in 140,000 square feet of tents, stages and more.

Named a Top Five Oktoberfest by USA Today, Conde Nast Traveler Magazine and Orbitz, Oktoberfest Tulsa is an experience you won't want to miss!

From bier barrel racing to stein hoisting, live music and more, there’s something here for Oktoberfest pros and first timers. We've got a package for you so you won’t miss out on any of the action. Special Experiences begin on Tuesday evening and continue through the weekend, in addition to our general admission programs.

Family Fun Time:

Families are welcome throughout the festival and kids will have a blast with our Carnival rides, an authentic Jugendzelt presented by PediStat and Friday Family Free Day presented by Zeeco.

Entertainment Schedule:

Tulsa’s favorite festival wouldn’t be the same without our terrific entertainers! Live music is always a favorite and this year and several bands are traveling to Tulsa Oktoberfest from Germany to perform including Dorfrocker and AlpenFetzer.
