A two-day, deliberately all-local Oktoberfest in the Historic Progress Center building on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, now in its sixteenth year. More than twenty beers and ciders come from Minnesota breweries, the food is local German cooking, and nine acts play across an indoor main stage and a tent stage. Entry itself is free and all ages, with a wristband required only to drink; there is also outdoor seating alongside the building.
