We’re bringing a little bit of Munich to Framingham with a week-long celebration of what we do best: German food and German beer, plus live oompah music, steinholding, and keg tossing! If that wasn’t enough, this legendary week gets even better: The US Steinholding Association’s third annual Massachusetts State Championship will be held here on Sunday, October 6!
There’s plenty of Festbier to go around – come raise a stein with us!

Enjoy all of the fun of Oktoberfest plus more! We all know waiting for a table or a beer at the bar can take some time during our busiest time of the year. We are making that process easier for our VIPs, with a private bartender and space, you can go in and out of all afternoon. On top of all that you will get a limited-edition 1 liter stein and your first pour with your ticket.
NEW THIS YEAR: in addition to the private Fest Hall area, VIPs have exclusive access to the Lager Lounge front patio area with comfy outdoor lounge-style seating (21+).
VIP ticket includes:
