Lederhosen not required, but strongly encouraged.

We only serve draft beer in steins. If you have one, bring it, if you don't, register so it's included in your ticket. Pick up on-site on the day of the event that you can keep forever and ever.

In an effort to keep service as speedy as possible, Fulton Oktoberfest is a token-fueled economy. Tokens are sold at a flat rate inclusive of an event + sales tax.

Steins are required for drinking beer at Oktoberfest. If you brought your own stein from home (this FREE option is highly encouraged by Fulton and Mother Earth) you can do some simple math on how many tokens to purchase.

1 token included in registration.

Additional tokens: $10 (tax inclusive). There is a 4% processing fee on all CC transactions..

BEER COST

• One half-liter stein (0.5L) of beer = 1 token
• One liter stein (1L) of beer = 2 tokens

Forgot your stein at home? You'll need to purchase one at the event.

STEIN COST

• One half-liter stein (0.5L) = 1 token
• One liter stein (1L) = 2 tokens

Once you've secured your stein and your tokens, head into the tent, to the bar, and exchange tokens for the size fill you need.

• Tokens are valid throughout the four-day event.
• Tokens can be purchased with cash or card.
• Not drinking alcohol? Tickets can be purchased a lower cost for non-alcoholic beverages.
• Tokens can not be refunded at the end of the event, but they can be redeemed at the taproom until 12.31.25, or at a future Fulton Oktoberfest.

Want to beat ALL the lines? Keep an eye on our socials for information on our token pre-sale and stein swap ahead of the event date(s).

Our Oktoberfest features the largest selection of authentic German beer in the Twin Cities. We will have favorites from Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr, as well as Fulton favorites like our Oktoberfest, Lonely Blonde, Hop Kingdom 300, Hard Seltzers, and Hop Water.

Bring your appetite! We'll be serving Oktoberfest favorites like thick, juicy bratwurst, Bavarian pretzels the size of your head, and for those up to the challenge, traditional meterwurst. Keep scrolling for the full menu.

Expect to see live music with various bands of the Polish persuasion, live performances from an award-winning traditional Bavarian dance group - SG Edelweiss St. Paul - and yes, our sausage toss will be back! Scroll down for details.

It's back! A space for your kiddos to hang out, craft, and be so you can enjoy all things Oktoberfest too. Scroll down for details.
