Fall is here, which means that cities across the world have begun their Oktoberfest celebrations! Wondering how you can celebrate in the Florida Keys? Keep reading to plan your visit! 

This fall, you can celebrate German culture and tradition during local Oktoberfest events. This holiday brings the spirit of Bavaria to the Florida Keys, offering a unique and unforgettable experience! You can expect authentic German food, live music, beer gardens, traditional games, and a wonderfully festive atmosphere.

The official dates for Oktoberfest this year are September 21, 2024 through October 6, 2024, but that doesn't mean that the fun is limited to that range. Be sure to check each event's website for up-to-date information on the dates and other details.
