As much as you’d maybe like to, you probably aren’t going to manage to make it over to Germany for Oktoberfest. Now that’s a tough trip. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy your own little slice of Germany right in Ohio’s own backyard. Keep a trip to Bavaria on your bucket list for one more year and do Oktoberfest island-style instead! Join us for a weekend of fun, festive music, bratwurst, cabbage, and of course, plenty of beer! Island Oktoberfest is a Put-in-Bay tradition that can’t be beat!
Put-in-Bay is the perfect place to spend Oktoberfest because the party doesn’t have to end when the tent event does! The tent is located right in the heart of downtown, so just shuffle over to any of Put-in-Bay’s great downtown bars and restaurants and keep the night going! And then get a little rest, turn around, and enjoy less beer but more delicious German food on Sunday before you head home with a weekend full of memories!
