Uptown Jackson Oktoberfest
Join us October 1-2, 2021, in Jackson, Missouri, for the largest German festival between St. Louis and Memphis with food, drink and entertainment. Jackson was established in 1814 with a large number of German settlers and Oktoberfest celebrates that heritage. Many of today’s residents can trace their families back to Missouri’s early days. The public is invited to help celebrate as the city closes several blocks to traffic as Oktoberfest activities take over the streets. Oktoberfest is funded and operated by the Uptown Jackson Revitalization Organization.
