There is no better way to spend a beautiful October day than at the Annual Oktoberfest Celebration in Historic Germantown. This colorful, autumn festival will again entertain, regale, and delight thousands from Middle Tennessee with its unique brand of traditional German revelry.

The day will begin with the Paulaner Bier 5 K Oktoberfest Run/Walk at 8:00am. At 9:30am the two historic sponsoring churches will conduct community wide worship services. From 10:30am until 7:00pm, the Oktoberfest Street Festival kicks off with fun, food, fellowship, and entertainment. Last year's event featured music by Die Musik Meisters, Music City Swing, Ted Guillaum (Organ Grinder), Nashville Jazz Workshop, Steff Mahan Band, and Block Family Band. Check back for more information on entertainment for the 2008 Festival.

For more than a quarter century, this original, city wide celebration has been offering authentic German food, crafts, tours, dance, and entertainment. Established in 1980, this festival is one of the few nationwide that can claim an authentic German neighborhood as a venue. Oktoberfest showcases the best of this Germantown neighborhood - it's past history, present revitalization, and expanding future growth and diversity.

Helpful Information: The Oktoberfest Festival is held in Nashville's Historic Germantown. The event is located within a six-block area between the Tennessee Bicentennial Mall/Farmer's Market and Taylor Street, and between Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue North. The two historic churches are on Seventh Avenue North and Monroe Street where the hub of the activities will occur. There is plenty of free parking available beside the festival site and at the Farmer's Market.
