The 190th Oktoberfest takes place from Sept. 20 – Oct 5, 2025 in Munich, and here in Orlando you can celebrate too, with events from early September through until late October.
The first Oktoberfest took place in Munich back in 1810 to celebrate 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.
While Germany is the home of Oktoberfest, Orlando loves its food and drink festivals too, so it's no surprise that there are tons of Oktoberfest events happening here, with celebrations taking place from early September through until late October.
To help you celebrate, we've brought together all the best Oktoberfest events throughout Central Florida in 2025, celebrating beer, pretzels, music and more! Prost!
Check back often as we update this list as more 2025 events are announced.
