Oktoberfest in Wisconsin 2024
Some of the largest and longest running Oktoberfest celebrations happen every year in Wisconsin. If you are looking for a German festival to attend in September or October 2024, you should have no trouble finding the right beer and food here. More than 40 percent of the state’s residents boast German heritage. From Milwaukee and Madison, to La Crosse and Appleton, the fall is filled with fun festivals to celebrate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Therese of Bavaria.
Last Major Update:2024 was a great year for Oktoberfest! We'll be back with more next year.
Looks like plenty of great Oktoberfest parties running all the way up to November to enjoy, so Prost!

We do not run these events, and would hate for anyone to go out of their way only to find the event had been canceled after releasing a date. Please click through to the event website to confirm! Be safe and have a great fall!

Hi,
we had a documentary last year in Germany about the Octoberfest in Wisconsin, there was a gentleman, sorry forgot his name, that organizes the festivities, he is from Bad Kreuznach, Germany, does anyone know him? My son lives in Ill. and was born in Bad Kreuznach, he would like to meet him or anyone from Bad Kreuznach for that matter, any help would be nice. Thank you, Doris Carr also from Bad Kreuznach.
