It may still feel like summer, but Atlanta is gearing up for a season of Oktoberfest celebrations! We can’t promise you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to Bavaria, but these events are definitely a great way to have some fall fun this September and October.

The best thing about our local breweries is that many events have FREE admission. You’ll just need your wallet for food and drink. We’ve noted wherever there’s a small cover charge.
