KC Oktoberfest – KC Bier Co. – German-style beer in Kansas City

Save the date: October 2nd and 3rd, 2026.

Modeled after the Munich Oktoberfest in Germany, KC Oktoberfest is Kansas City’s largest traditional Oktoberfest. In 2025, the event drew nearly 17,000 merrymakers who came to enjoy the brewery’s authentic German-style bier — more than 37,000 steins, actually — lively entertainment, exceptional Bavarian and American cuisine, games and competitions, and family-friendly activities — transforming an iconic regional destination into a “Munich of the Midwest.”

The second photo is an overhead shot of a busy crowd on the lawn at Crown Center. The third photo shows men on a stage holding beer mugs straight out in front of them. The last photo shows a close up of a dark haired man singing and playing guitar

All bier served at KC Oktoberfest is fresh, authentic German-style bier brewed by KC Bier Co. using traditional German recipes and brewing processes, and with only four ingredients: water, yeast, and 100% imported German malt and hops.

In recognition of its authenticity and exciting atmosphere, KC Oktoberfest was named the Favorite Beer Festival in Kansas City in the 2019 VisitKC Visitors’ Choice Awards and runner-up for Best Outdoor Event in The Pitch Best of KC 2025.
