AERONAUT Oktoberfest 2026

Snag a stein and PROST because AERONAUT OKTOBERFEST is back! Join us on Saturday 9/19 from 12-8pm at AERONAUT's Somerville taproom to celebrate the best beer season of all. We’ll have your favorite German-inspired beers on draft including our Märzen-style Oktoberfest! We'll be serving up mouthwatering festive fare from Mimi's Chuka Diner (including schnitzel sandos, Sapporo-braised brats, laugenbrezel and more!) and Carolicious (chorizo arepas!) while we OOMPAH to the TubaFrau Hofbräu Band!

And for those of you eager to throw your name into the bavarian hat, we’ll be hoisting a multi-round, all-abilities-welcome, STEINHOLDING COMPETITION where only one true champion will prevail! Or don your finest lederhosen for our Oktobefest COSTUME CONTEST, with prizes for the best dressed.
