October is the only month that gets its own “fest,” as far as I can tell. And Oktoberfests are so popular that many organizers even jump the gun and hold them in September! You’ll have a keg-full of chances to raise a stein and celebrate German culture and all things beer-related in and around Ottawa in September and October. (Don’t forget to pick a designated driver.)

Did I miss your favourite Oktoberfest? Let me know in the comments!

As the owner of Ottawa Road Trips, I acknowledge that I live on, work in and travel through the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg Nation. I am grateful to have the opportunity to be present on this land. Ottawa Road Trips supports Water First, a non-profit organization that helps address water challenges in Indigenous communities in Canada through education, training and meaningful collaboration.

Don’t forget Cumberland’s Octoberfest 21st. There is always great German food and an oom pah pah band. Check the Cumberland Lions’ page for details.

I believe Tavern at the Gallery (Ottawa) is doing an event this year as well.
