The Distillery District Oktoberfest, Poured by Mill St

The Distillery District is teaming up with Mill Street Brewery for a distinctly Distillery take on Oktoberfest, filling its historic cobblestone streets with Bavarian-inspired food, cold beer, live music, and plenty of Bavarian “Gemütlichkeit” - that warm feeling of good cheer, good company and good times shared together.

Each Saturday and Sunday, visitors can drop into the Pure Spirits Courtyard from 2:00 - 9:00 p.m. for free, open-to-the-public programming. *

Oktoberfest Highlights

• Live polka on the Trinity Street Stage: The Black Forest Band, a Kitchener-based group widely recognized for its Oktoberfest performances, takes to the Trinity Stage from 2:00–5:00 p.m. September 19–20, September 26–27 and October 3. On October 4, The Happy Wanderers take over with traditional - and some not-so-traditional - beer hall music from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

• Live music in the Pure Spirits Courtyard every festival day from 6:00–9:00 p.m.

• Saturday Beer Pong: Grab a partner and put your skills to the test with a Beer Pong Tournament every Saturday from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in the Pure Spirits Courtyard.

• Sunday Oktoberfest Trivia: Think you know your beer, Bavaria and Oktoberfest traditions? Quizmaster Jess puts that knowledge to the test every Sunday from 5:00–6:00 p.m., with a $50 gift card up for grabs.

• Oktoberfest eats and Mill Street beer: Grab-and-go food from the Pure Spirits Courtyard smoker and grill will be available throughout the festival, alongside a selection of Mill Street beers. Food highlights include: currywurst poutine, chicken schnitzel kaiser sandwich, spätzle and cheese, smoked brisket "rueben" sandwich, sausage, and warm pretzels.

Note this event is free to the public and not ticketed, securing a ticket will act as a placeholder/personal reminder. Guests will be served on a first-come, first-come basis.
