'Tis the season to start thinking about the annual tradition of combining October and beer celebrations.

We've been hard at work scouring the area for 2026 Oktoberfest events in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. And we've found some! Whether you spell it Oktoberfest or Octoberfest, you know you will find fun. Festivities traditionally include food, drinks, dancing and more fun.

A little Oktoberfest history: The first Oktoberfest was held October 12, 1810, to celebrate the marriage of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in Germany. Today, Oktoberfest is an annual 16- to 18-day folk festival in Munich, Germany, which starts in September and goes into the first weekend in October.
