What is Oktoberfest Pittsburgh?

A vibrant blend of Bavarian tradition and Steel City spirit, this multi-day community event aims to honor the rich cultural traditions of Oktoberfest while showcasing the best of Pittsburgh’s local talent and businesses.

The inaugural festival took place October 3rd-13th, 2024, in Downtown’s iconic Market Square, which was transformed into a Bavarian village with booths, colorful banners, and traditional Oktoberfest decorations. A karneval complete with a Ferris Wheel atop the Roberto Clemente Bridge offered visitors unique, breathtaking views of the city.

By bringing together local entertainment, traditional games, and a variety of food and beverage options, Oktoberfest Pittsburgh is an immersive experience that celebrates both cultural heritage and local pride.
