FAQ
What’s the “can’t-miss” Oktoberfest in Fort Worth?
The city festival at Trinity Park (Sept 25–27) (fortworthoktoberfest.com) is the big one—bands, tents, rides, contests, and tons of German food and bier. Breweries like Maple Branch, Three Wide, Second Rodeo, and Panther Island add great parties around it.
Are these family-friendly?
Trinity Park’s festival welcomes kids (12 and under free with paid adult). Brewery events vary—most daytime taproom parties are casual/family-friendly; check each event page day-of. (fortworthoktoberfest.com)
What should I wear?
Lean into it—lederhosen, dirndls, or just jeans and boots. Closed-toe shoes are smart for stein-hoisting and dancing.
How do I plan a crawl?
Do Three Wide (Sept 19–21) up north, then Maple Branch/Foundry and the Stockyards parties on Sept 20, and finish with the Trinity Park festival Sept 25–27. Ride-share between clusters.
Where can I buy local Oktoberfest beers outside these events?
