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 at 9:30am when the two historic sponsoring churches will conduct community wide worship services. From 8:00am until 6:00pm, the Oktoberfest Street Festival kicks off with Paulaner 5K Bier Run, fun, food, fellowship, and entertainment. There will be a children's activity area featuring games, pony rides, face painting, clowns and snow cones. Enjoy live German music, four musical stages and street performances by Die Musik Meisters, Music City Swing, Steff Mahan Band and guests, Ted Guillaum (Organ Grinder) and more. Try your taste buds at authentic german food and beverages, as well as specialty home baked goods. Don't forget to check out all the arts and crafts booths, while strolling around the 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 Rosa L. Parks Boulevard. 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 and Bicentennial Mall.
