CHICAGO'S LARGEST OKTOBERFEST

FULTON MARKET · SEPTEMBER 2025

JOIN THE WAITLIST

THE ULTIMATE OKTOBERFEST PARTY STRAIGHT IS TAKING OVER FULTON MARKET


This September, Oktoberfest Nation lands in the heart of Fulton Market with six weeks of stein-hoisting competitions, live Oompah bands, DJs, and thousands of fest-goers dancing, drinking, eating and creating the kind of memories you'll never forget. For the first time ever, Chicago is getting a full-scale Oktoberfest takeover, and it’s going to be unforgettable.


Munich’s biggest beer traditions are coming to Fulton Market, brought to life by the original mastermind behind Hofbräuhaus Chicago—Mike Matushka—who’s back to raise the bar once again.


It all kicks off this September 18th for a limited time only, so grab your crew, throw on your dirndl or lederhosen, and be part of the party everyone will be talking about.

OKTOBERFEST ACTIVITIES

AUTHENTIC BAVARIAN BEER

Imported straight from Munich and brewed under the Purity Law of 1516, our beer comes exclusively from Hofbräuhaus, the iconic German brewery behind the official Oktoberfest Nation experience.

BRATS, BITES & BAVARIAN VIBES

Whether you’re craving bratwursts, jumbo pretzels, or traditional German sausages, we’ve got all the crave-worthy bites that go hand in hand with a cold Hofbräuhaus beer and a good time.

FULL BARS & FESTIVE SIPS

You’ll find crisp Hofbräuhaus Hefeweizens and spiced apple cider mules at our full bars, pouring more than just beer. Sip on Oktoberfest-themed cocktails, seasonal shots, and festive pours that keep the party going: Prost Punch, cinnamon schnapps, and other Bavarian-inspired creations made just for the fest.

GAMES, MUSIC & NONSTOP ENERGY

Get in on stein-holding showdowns, live Oompah bands, DJs, dance floors, and surprise moments—you’ll find energy around every corner. Snap pics, join a costume contest, win a giveaway, and celebrate from the first pour to the final Prost.
