St. Paul Oktoberfest is held annually on the beautiful grounds of the Germanic-American Institute. Just like the Munich original, we celebrate in September when the weather is better! As the GAI’s largest fundraiser, proceeds from the event help raise the necessary funds to support our cultural and language education programming all year long. With non-stop entertainment and fun for the whole family, it’s a two-day celebration of German food, beer, and culture!
