Oktoberfest at Dayton Art Institute

Oktoberfest 2024

Oktoberfest will return for its 53rd anniversary in 2024, taking place September 27-29 on the museum grounds!

A Dayton tradition since 1972, Oktoberfest includes artisans, unique international foods, one of the best selections of domestic, international and craft beers in the area, family-friendly art activities, live music, a Weingarten with a variety of international wines, and much more! Oktoberfest includes a fully covered main stage viewing area, an expanded craft beer tent with big-screen TVs for all of the weekend’s football action, and live music on two stages throughout the weekend.

Join us on Friday, September 27 as we kick off Oktoberfest weekend with the annual Lederhosen Lunch, followed by the Preview Party.
