About Oktoberfest

Join us for Biddeford’s Fourth Annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 1:00–6:00 PM, with VIP early access beginning at 12:00 PM!

Heart of Biddeford is bringing one of Germany’s most beloved traditions to Downtown Biddeford for an afternoon of great beer, delicious food, live music, games, and community fun.

We’ll be transforming Lincoln Street into a festive Oktoberfest celebration featuring a wide selection of craft beer and other beverages, local food vendors, live entertainment, Oktoberfest-inspired activities, and family-friendly attractions.

Come hungry! A variety of food trucks and local food vendors will be serving up German-inspired favorites alongside plenty of other tasty options. Vendor and beverage lineups will be announced closer to the event.

Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, a foodie, a music lover, or simply looking for a fun day out with friends and family, Biddeford Oktoberfest has something for everyone.
