The 189th Oktoberfest takes place from Sat, 21 Sept 2024 – Sun, 6 Oct 2024 in Munich, and here in Orlando you can celebrate too, with events from early September through until late October.
Orlando loves its food and drink festivals, so it's no surprise that there are several Oktoberfest celebrations happening throughout Central Florida.
The occasion for the first Oktoberfest in 1810 was the wedding of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Since it was so well-received, the festival was repeated in the following years, and the rest as they say is history.
Oktoberfest is celebrated around the world, and no more so than here on Orlando with multiple events celebrating beer, pretzels, music and more!
