KC Oktoberfest

About

Presented and organized by Kansas City Bier Company — Kansas City's largest locally owned brewery — KC Oktoberfest is a two-day festival celebrating authentic German-style bier, food, and entertainment at Crown Center in the heart of downtown Kansas City. Modeled after the Munich Oktoberfest in Germany, KC Oktoberfest is Kansas City's largest traditional Oktoberfest. In 2025, the event drew more than 17,000 merrymakers who came to enjoy the brewery's authentic German-style bier, lively entertainment, exceptional Bavarian and American cuisine, games and competitions, and family-friendly activities. Food vendors feature both traditional Bavarian-style fare including sausages, pretzels, and bier cheese soup, and classic festival favorites from local vendors — only those with a German theme will be seriously considered.
