Oktoberfest at Ober Gatlinburg 2026: Dates, Food & What to Expect
Oktoberfest at Ober Gatlinburg runs October 1 through November 1, 2026, transforming Tennessee's only mountaintop resort into a Bavarian festival grounds complete with the Bavarian Fun Makers Band, traditional German food and bier, stein-holding competitions, and fall foliage views from 3,300 feet above the Smoky Mountain valley. It's Gatlinburg's original Oktoberfest celebration — and the only one in the country happening at this elevation. Here's what to expect.
