Oktoberfest 2026

Oktoberfest is around the corner! Head to Downtown Gardner for year 21.

What started in 2006 with a few kegs, a tent in the back parking lot, and the hope that people would show up has turned into one of Gardner’s biggest community traditions. Year after year, the street fills with steins, music, food, beer, friends, families, and the kind of ridiculous fun that only Oktoberfest can deliver.

And don't forget the Chair Luge! This year’s Chair Luge theme is 70s, so start thinking tie-dye, bell bottoms, big sunglasses, disco energy, flower power, and whatever else your inner 1970s legend requires.

Live Music Lineup:
 11:00 AM – Rusty Truck Saloon Band
 3:00 PM – The Barrett Anderson Band
 5:00 PM – DJ Hot Flash
 5:30 PM – A Phine Connection

Event Schedule:
 10:00 AM – Run for a Beer
 11:30 AM – Keg Tap
 1:00 PM – Steinholding Competition
 2:00 PM – Chair Luge

Come for the beer, stay for the music, and get ready for another unforgettable Oktoberfest in the street. See you in Downtown Gardner.
