St. Paul Oktoberfest is held annually on the beautiful grounds of the Germanic-American Institute.
Just like the Munich original, we celebrate in September when the weather is better.
With non-stop entertainment and fun for the whole family, it’s a two-day celebration of German food, beer, and culture.
