The Dayton Oktoberfest features all the things the community has come to love about the festival, as well as some new additions for 2024! The celebration kicks off on Friday, September 27, with the Lederhosen Lunch from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and the Preview Party from 7 to 11 p.m., followed by two full days of Oktoberfest fun, from noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday, September 28 and noon to 7 p.m. on Sunday, September 29.

Oktoberfest, taking place on Saturday, September 28, and Sunday, September 29, features live music, family activities, outstanding artisans, delicious food, a Weingarten and, of course, an amazing selection of more than 50 craft and international beers!

Oktoberfest includes a fully covered Main Stage area and Food Court, plus a TV Tent with four big-screen TVs for all the weekend sports action. Live music is featured on two stages throughout the weekend: traditional German music in the Food Court and a variety of bands on the Main Stage. The Oktoberfest Artisans will return in 2024, offering a wide range of unique items for sale. The ACCO Brands FamilyFest, taking place from noon-5 p.m. each day, features special activities for all ages on the festival grounds.
