Oktoberfest Miami®

Raise a stein to tradition and celebrate German culture with a weekend of music, food and festive competitions at the German-American Social Club’s Oktoberfest Miami® 2025. Taking place over two weekends—October 10–12 and October 17–19—this annual event is recognized as Miami’s largest German beer and culture festival.

Guests can enjoy live performances by bands flown in from Europe, including Austria’s Die Donau Piraten, the veteran touring group Die Seitz Bubn and Schlager singer VRONI. The lineup also includes traditional Bavarian dances, audience contests, and cultural showcases that bring Oktoberfest’s celebratory spirit to life. Alongside the music, visitors can savor authentic German fare such as bratwurst, schnitzel, pretzels and strudel, paired with imported beer, local brews and non-alcoholic options.

The festival includes family-friendly zones with bounce houses, games, crafts and face painting. Highlights for all ages include a yodeling contest, stein-holding challenge and a costume competition. This year also features the second annual Miss Oktoberfest Miami® competition, where contestants in traditional attire compete for the chance to lead the festivities.
