Spacecat Brewing Company's 2026 Oktoberfest Celebration

Details

Spacecat Brewing Company — 5th Annual Oktoberfest

Saturday, September 26 · 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Our biggest party of the year is back for its fifth run. One $40 ticket covers all of your food for the day and your first beer, and you get two live bands, two Oktoberfest competitions, German-style beers brewed here on-site, and a beer tap truck outside serving as a second bar.

PRE-SALE — ENDS SEPTEMBER 4

The ticket is $40 either way. Buying during the pre-sale is what gets you the extras.

A welcome swag bag filled with items from local businesses

A custom Spacecat embroidered glass

A custom Oktoberfest t-shirt

Your spot in the Brat Toss or Steinholding competition

After September 4: admission is still $40 and still includes all your food and your first beer. The swag bag, glass, and shirt are pre-sale only.

WHAT EVERY TICKET INCLUDES

All food, all day, from our own Whistleville Grille

A token for your first beer

Two live bands

Both competitions to watch, and prizes for the winners

DESIGNATED DRIVER TICKET — $35

The designated driver ticket is $35 and includes all the same food and music as a regular ticket, plus unlimited soft drinks all day. It does not come with a beer token, and designated drivers wear a different colored wristband.

Pre-sale designated driver tickets also include the swag bag, glass, t-shirt, and a competition slot. After September 4 the ticket is still $35 without those extras.
