Addison Oktoberfest, presented by Paulaner, is recognized as one of the best recreations of the famed Munich festival since it first brought prosts and polkas to North Texas nearly 40 years ago. Revel in 4 days of German culture, food, music and bier, enjoying a taste of the original Oktoberfest with a purely Texan twist. Experience traditional Oktoberfest bands, talented cultural performances and a variety of captivating entertainers on six stages throughout Addison Circle Park. Prost and polka hard in the open-air Partyhalle and Party Zelt tents, belt karaoke classics in the Lederhosen Lounge, embrace the Texas twist at the Texas Prost Stage, chill out with singer-songwriters in the indoor Kleinhalle and look up to see live skits atop the Glockenspiel Clock.
Enjoy fun contests such as dachshund races, bier barrel rolling, masskrugstemmen (stein holding), Biergarten Bingo and more. The event offers fun for all ages, including a colorful Karneval and carousel for the kinderfolk plus unique shopping opportunities in the Marktplatz. Don’t forget your dirndl or lederhosen (or buy them at the festival) – dressing for the occasion is enthusiastically encouraged!
Make a weekend of it by booking an Addison Oktoberfest Hotel Paket, which includes quality lodging, event admission tickets, commemorative steins and more. Packages are limited, so book early!
