Celebrate the arrival of fall at Ober Mountain’s Oktoberfest, Gatlinburg’s original Oktoberfest celebration! From September 25 through November 1, 2026, the mountain transforms into a festive Bavarian village filled with authentic food, German beer, live entertainment, and family-friendly fun.
Stroll through festive blue-and-white décor, colorful autumn mums, seasonal displays, and plenty of photo opportunities that capture the spirit of Oktoberfest. Throughout the festival, enjoy live music on the outdoor stage, cheer on competitors during traditional stein-holding contests, and soak in the lively atmosphere from the mountaintop biergarten.
Raise a stein and sample a selection of German-style beers from Yee-Haw Brewing while savoring Oktoberfest favorites like chicken schnitzel, bratwurst, giant pretzels, turkey legs, and other hearty specialties. Be sure to save room for seasonal desserts, including apple strudel, pumpkin fudge, and other sweet treats.
With spectacular Smoky Mountain views, festive entertainment, delicious food, and authentic Bavarian traditions, Ober Mountain’s Oktoberfest is one of the Smokies’ favorite fall events and a must-visit celebration for visitors of all ages.
