Chattanooga Oktoberfest 2026

Chattanooga Oktoberfest takes over First Horizon Pavilion for two packed days of German beer, Bavarian food, live Oompah music and wonderfully unserious competition. The Chattanooga Market’s 25th edition brings a broad biergarten lineup together with brat tossing, stein hoisting, artisan vendors and the crowd-favorite Mr. and Ms. Oktoberfest contest. Saturday runs from morning into the evening, while Sunday offers another full daytime session, making this a genuine destination weekend rather than a routine brewery promotion. Admission to the festival is free, though food, drinks and merchandise are purchased separately. Wear the lederhosen if you have it, bring a payment card and plan a sober ride home.
