About The Festival

Welcome to Oxtoberfest, Oxford's beloved German-themed celebration that brings the spirit of Bavaria to Uptown Oxford!

Now in its 5th annual year, this free, family-friendly festival turns Main & High into a vibrant fall playground featuring German and local brews, hearty autumn fare, live entertainment, artisan vendors, and fun for all ages.

Oxtoberfest is Oxford's signature autumn event. From stein-holding challenges and classic polkas to pumpkin decorating, bouncy houses, and games, we invite residents and visitors alike to revel in a day of fall magic, laughter, and tradition.
