Oktoberfest Vermont

Oktoberfest Vermont is a Burlington-based festival celebrating Bavarian-inspired food, music, costumes, games, and beer. Held at The Coal Collective on Pine Street, the annual event brings attendees together for two sessions featuring live entertainment, contests, and activities. The 2026 festival is scheduled for September 18 and 19, with tickets offering a souvenir Oktoberfest glass, twelve drink tickets for sample pours, and access to games, competitions, prizes, and music. Guests can also purchase larger pours from the Howl Bier beer garden, alongside food from participating vendors.

Activities include stein holding, best-dressed, fast-pitch, axe-throwing, keg-toss, and putt-putt competitions, as well as soccer darts and face painting. The event features different performers across its sessions, including traditional German music and local acts. General admission, VIP, and designated-driver ticket options are available. Oktoberfest Vermont is a 21-and-over, rain-or-shine event, with safety measures and volunteer support helping ensure an organized experience. Costumes are encouraged, and the festival offers prizes and merchandise to add to the festive atmosphere.
