6 Exciting Oktoberfest Celebrations Happening This Year In Atlanta

Oktoberfest: the perfect excuse to celebrate fall’s arrival!

Known for kicking off autumn with bratwurst, dancing, and plenty of brews, Oktoberfest is a treasured, annual German festival.

From our awesome craft breweries to unmissable events, check out some of our Oktoberfest recommendations below. Our annual ATL festival may have been put on hold, but there’s still so much to do, right here in the city! Oktoberfest is actually celebrated in Germany beginning mid to late September, but because the festivities are just too fun, tons of events will carry through the month of October in the city. Here are 6 exciting Oktoberfest celebrations happening this year in Atlanta.

1. Round Trip Brewing

Where: 1279 Seaboard Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

Round Trip Brewing Company are hosting several Oktoberfest events. The beloved craft beer brewery have even created a brand new brew for the occasion! The artisanal Märzen beer goes down a treat with their unbeatable selection of food vendors!

2. Helen’s Oktoberfest

Where: Helen, Georgia (1074 Edelweiss Strasse, Helen, GA 30545)

Although it’s not in Atlanta, you don’t want to miss out on Helen’s Oktoberfest extravaganza. The alpine village will temporarily transport you from Georgia to Germany, as Helen celebrates with multiple weeks of traditional dancing, food, and, of course, German beer! Best thing about this unique celebration is that it lasts until November, so there’s plenty of time to head to Helen and check it out!

3. Elsewhere Brewing

5. Red’s Beer Garden

Where: 1328 Boulevard SE, Atlanta, GA 30315

6. Fest-of-Ale

Where: Atlanta Botanical Garden, Piedmont Park

Although not an Oktoberfest event, there’s beers on offer most evenings this October at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Thanks to their annual beer festival Fest-Of-Ale, visitors can explore their fall exhibitions and offerings, as the moonlight transforms the gorgeous space into an ooky-spooky outing!
