The Columbus Oktoberfest mainly revolves around beer, but there’s much more to enjoy here! For the kids, there are fun arts and crafts, inflatables, face painting, and other activities.

Events include Steinstossen (Stone Throw), Keg Toss, and Steinheben (Bavarian Stone Lift). Savor beer from Ohio’s craft breweries in the Craft Bier Garten, and choose from a wide selection of wines in the Wine Garten.

The Kidslinked Oktoberfest on Sunday offers a fun-filled day for the whole family.

Check out the Art & Craft Marktplatz and the Merchant Market, as well as the variety of food and beverages from the vendors.

The Columbus Oktoberfest officially opens on Friday, but there’s also a ‘Kick-Off Party’ on Thursday, September 5, from 5 pm to 10 pm.
