The St. Paul Oktoberfest returns September 13 and 14th to the beautiful grounds of the Germanic-American Institute in St. Paul, MN. Like the Munich original dating back to 1810, this annual event is celebrated in September to take advantage of the nice weather. The Germanic-American Institute (GAI) partners with local partner sponsors to feature beer imported directly from Paulaner in Munich as well as brewed locally by Utepils in Minneapolis, MN. St. Paul Oktoberfest will feature an array of international food fare, from bratwurst to strudel, pretzels and more! With non-stop entertainment and fun for the whole family, it’s a two-day celebration of German food, beer, and culture!
