Sunday, September 27 | 12–4 PM

Downtown Bend Oktoberfest is bringing breweries, cideries, kombucha makers and other beverage partners into participating downtown businesses for an afternoon of local pours, food, activities and Oktoberfest fun.

Guests will purchase an official Oktoberfest mug and use the event map to explore participating locations throughout downtown.

How It Works

1. Tell Us You Want to Participate

Submit your brewery or beverage information and let us know what you’d like to pour.

2. Get Matched With a Downtown Business

Already have a downtown business partner? Great — tell us who.

Need a location? DBBA will work to connect participating beverage partners with downtown businesses looking to host a pour.

3. Coordinate Your Event Setup

Once matched, you’ll coordinate event-day details with your host business and DBBA, including setup, staffing and what you’ll be pouring.

4. Pour + Meet Oktoberfest Guests

Guests will purchase an official Oktoberfest cup, then use the event map to explore downtown and visit participating locations. Beverage partners will pour directly into the official event cups, creating a fun, connected experience as guests make their way through downtown.
