One of Chicago's longest-running parish Oktoberfests, celebrating its 60th year in 2026 in the enclosed courtyard beside St. Benedict's school on the North Side. Entry is free across three days of German food and drink, live music, carnival rides and games. Proceeds go to the parish and its local outreach work, and organizers pitch it squarely at families.
