Fountain Hills Oktoberfest

Fountain Hills Oktoberfest is a two-day outdoor celebration hosted by Fountain Hills Sister Cities at the Fountain Hills Community Center and Centennial Circle, recognized as one of the only authentic Bavarian-style Oktoberfest events in the Valley. The festival features traditional German food, imported and local craft beer, live music from bands flying in from Germany, stein holding and alphorn blowing contests, a best dressed competition, and a free kids zone. A ceremonial keg tapping by the Fountain Hills mayor opens the event each year, a tradition rooted in the event's history dating back to 1998.
