Columbus Oktoberfest (Schmidt's)

About

Held at the Ohio Expo Center, Columbus Oktoberfest is a free three-day September festival celebrating German heritage with food, beverage, and craft vendors. The event has deep Columbus roots — the Schmidt family brings 140 years of local tradition, and the festival itself has been running in various forms since the early 1900s. The venue offers authentic beer-hall-style facilities, abundant paved parking, and easy access. All food and beverage sales are credit-card only; cash converts to a fest card at the souvenir stand.
