The region’s most family-friendly Oktoberfest returns to Chattanooga for a weekend full of music, food, tradition, and fun — with a local twist. Chattanooga Oktoberfest® blends classic German sights, sounds, and flavors with the creative spirit of our city for a can’t-miss fall celebration.

Enjoy German-inspired eats like brats and pretzels, a lively biergarten featuring dozens of local and seasonal craft brews, traditional Oompah music, shopping with local artists, and — of course — a chicken dance or two. With live entertainment, interactive contests, and activities for all ages, there’s truly something for everyone.

Don your lederhosen or dirndl and don’t miss the beloved Mr. & Ms. Chattanooga Oktoberfest® Contest, an applause-based, just-for-fun tradition that’s open to all ages. This “see and be seen” event takes place Saturday evening and is always a crowd favorite.

Chattanooga Oktoberfest® is a FREE, must-attend celebration for locals and visitors alike — German attire highly encouraged!
