Beer, brats, pretzels, and steins—here's where to celebrate Oktoberfest in NYC. 🥨🍻

by New York Bucket List

 

New York City’s Oktoberfest scene has it all: German beer, brats, pretzels, and more. The months-long celebration kicks off in early September and runs through the end of October, with authentic events taking place throughout the city 7 days a week.

To help you narrow down the best celebrations, we gathered a list of open bars, brewery fests, and rooftop Oktoberfest events that you can’t miss. Take a look at our top NYC Oktoberfest experiences below and then explore our ultimate NYC fall bucket list for more ideas on what to do this season.
