Oktober Fest (September 23–25)
Friday–Sunday Noon — 10:00 PM
Southport & Lincoln
Join us for beer, brats, music and fun at St. Alphonsus' Annual Oktoberfest, one of the original premier festivals in Chicago!
Located in the South Lakeview neighborhood, St. Alphonsus was founded by German immigrants in 1882, and continues to recognize its German roots by celebrating an authentic Oktoberfest every September.
Keeping with tradition, festival-goers can expect to experience homemade bratwurst, the oom-pah of German bands, the music of top area headliner bands, activities for kids (Kinderfest), and of course lots of great beer!
Our festival will be held outdoors in a beer garden fashion under a big-top tent. Thousands from Chicago of all ages attend and raise their stein to toast this German event.
Don't miss this traditional celebration and be sure to bring your appetite. We promise to quench your thirst and provide you with hours of interactive entertainment in the true spirit of a German Oktoberfest.
Admission of $5 benefit St. Alphonsus church.
