Prost! Oktoberfest is coming back to Fort Worth

Lace up your lederhosen and start practicing your yodeling skills, Oktoberfest Fort Worth is right around the corner. The three-day festival will be held from September 25-27 at The Shack at Panther Island Pavilion. The celebration will include authentic German food, music and most importantly—beer. The event is proudly presented by Spaten but there will be a variety of other fall and Oktoberfest craft beers served as well.

There will also be activities programmed throughout the festival such as bier barrel rolling relays, stein hoisting competitions and young professional group Olympics, a dachshund race on Saturday and more.

To kick-off the last day of the event we’ve partnered with Fort Worth Running Co to produce a 5k timed race, 1-mile fun run and/or 15-mile bike ride Saturday morning. Participants are welcome to sign up for a single event or extra-adventurous athletes can combine the run with the bike ride. Registration includes free admission to the event on Saturday, a free glass bier stein and two free drink tickets. We even timed the race to end right when the gates open to the festival at 11:00 am.
