Guten Tag from Muskoka!
Oktoberfest Muskoka is a music, culinary and beer festival that takes place each October in participating breweries and restaurants across Muskoka! Plenty to explore and experience in the area!
Breweries offer tours and partner with local chefs, retail vendors, food trucks, etc., to pair their beer with locally sourced products, ingredients, and menus.
Throughout the festival, restaurants will offer traditional Oktoberfest fare such as Roast Chicken, Sausages, Pretzels, Dumplings, Potato Pancakes, Sauerkraut, Spätzle, etc. Chefs and eateries will be encouraged to put a Muskoka ‘spin’ on the dishes, incorporating locally sourced ingredients such as cranberries, maple, and shiitake mushrooms.
Each night, musicians and entertainers perform in participating restaurants and breweries to enhance and attract visitors to these venues.
Visit the Muskoka OktoberFest website for all the details and event schedules.
