Oktoberfest in Delaware 2022
You don’t need to live in a state with a ton of festivals in order to celebrate Oktoberfest. The handful of Delaware Oktoberfest celebrations should be enough for you to get your fill of German beer, food and fun.
All listed Oktoberfests have been checked for 2022 dates - some with old dates were marked as canceled for this year but many just had no updates available that we could find. Still plenty of Oktoberfest parties running all the way into November to enjoy, so Prost!
All events showing current dates need to be verified to confirm that changes to the schedule were not made by the organizers after publication here, due to COVID-19, weather/natural disasters, or other reasons. 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!
2022 Events
If you decide that you are in the mood to venture out of the First State, you can also find Oktoberfests in Maryland, New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
