Our 7th Annual Oktoberfest will be held on October 25-26, 2008 at the First Tennessee Pavilion, and include the active involvement/support from Chattanooga-area organizations including the Chattanooga Times-Free Press, Friends of the Festival, the OLPH 5k Oktoberfest Ram Run and event sponsors to be announced.

In the past, this event has certainly one of the most festive days we have at the Chattanooga Market all year. Take in the sights and sounds of Chattanooga’s only Oktoberfest celebration all afternoon on the Southside. Two great bands (The Wurstbrats and The Bavarian German Band) will entertain you and the dance floor will be out for Polka dancing. A classic Volkswagen show always draws crowd. Home Brewing School by Chattanooga’s Barley Mob Brewers will make the beer lover in your family a happy person. Of course you can’t have an Oktoberfest without a beer garten with fresh grilled bratwurst and German potato salad.
