About this Event
Oktoberfest of the Palm Beaches is a lively celebration that brings the spirit of the famous German Oktoberfest to Florida's Palm Beach County. It typically features a blend of traditional German culture, including food, music, dancing, and of course, plenty of beer.
Every year the American German Club of the Palm Beaches hosts its traditional Oktoberfest on the second and third weekend of October. Held on ten acres of ground under our pavilion and massive tent, the "Original Oktoberfest" is one of the largest in the US.
Oktoberfest of Palm Beaches offers authentic German cooking such as Bratwurst, Potato Salad, Leberkäse, Sauerkraut, Original Hofbräu Bier, imported Munich/German or domestic beers, liqueurs, wine or non-alcoholic beverages, and for dessert some German pastries.
Enjoy traditional folk dancing, choral singing, and sing-along's, with two bands coming straight from Germany. Folk dancing performances will be featured, vendor & craft booths, a Carnival for all ages, and a kids’ zone. Bring your family to the American German Club and experience a real German Oktoberfest! Plenty of parking will be available.
