About the event:
This September, Oktoberfest Nation lands in the heart of Fulton Market with five weeks of stein-hoisting competitions, live Oompah bands, DJs, and thousands of fest-goers dancing, drinking, eating and creating the kind of memories you’ll never forget. For the first time ever, Chicago is getting a full-scale Oktoberfest takeover, and it’s going to be unforgettable.

Munich’s biggest beer traditions are coming to Fulton Market, brought to life by the original mastermind behind Hofbräuhaus Chicago—Mike Matushka—who’s back to raise the bar once again.
It all kicks off this September 18th for a limited time only, so grab your crew, throw on your dirndl or lederhosen, and be part of the party everyone will be talking about.

Brats, Bites & Bavarian Vibes Jumbo pretzels, grilled bratwursts, classic sausages, and enough snackable bites to fuel your next round. Yes, it’s all made to pair perfectly with whatever’s in your stein.

Full Bars & Festive Sips Not a beer person? We got you. From spiced apple cider mules to Prost Punch and cinnamon schnapps, our cocktail game is just as strong.

This legit oompah band is flying in straight from Munich’s iconic Hofbräuhaus to turn Fulton Market into the ultimate Bavarian beer hall. Think pounding drums, wild toasts, and the kind of Oktoberfest energy you usually have to cross an ocean for.
