Oktoberfest

Step back in time and celebrate the origins of Oktoberfest at Emerald Downs!
Did you know the very first Oktoberfest was held in 1810 to celebrate the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen with a grand horse race?
We’re keeping that tradition alive with our own festive celebration Friday (7 PM), Saturday and Sunday (1:30 PM)!
FREE ADMISSION for anyone dressed in Oktoberfest-themed attire! So, grab your dirndls and lederhosen and join in the fun!
Plus, enjoy $5 16 oz German beer specials when you’re dressed up!
$10 Adult, $5 Youth (Ages 5-17), Ages 4 & Under Free.
Need some Oktoberfest flair? Our gift shop has a limited supply of Oktoberfest hats that qualify you for those sweet beer discounts!
Live music by Happy Hans, Smilin’ Scandinavians and the Bavarian Beer Garden Band all weekend long.
