About
Come to one of the best Oktoberfest celebrations in the nation! This traditional festival is modeled after one of the world’s largest celebrations, held each year for several centuries in Munich, Germany. New Ulm’s version takes place during the first two full weekends in October, with festivities happening all over town!
The main locations for Oktoberfest in 2025 are Historic Downtown, Best Western Plus, Schell’s Brewery, and Morgan Creek Vineyards.
Oktoberfest is a joint festival, spread over 2 weekends, hosted by New Ulm Best Western Plus, the New Ulm Chamber of Commerce, Morgan Creek Vineyards, and Schell's Brewery. For the full itineraries and event information visit www.newulm.com/oktoberest.
