2024 FAQs

  • Toronto Oktoberfest is the first (and largest) Bavarian-styled Oktoberfest in Toronto.

    Celebrating our 12th anniversary in 2024, the festival aims to provide a truly authentic Oktoberfest experience through food, drink, music and dance, similar to the spirit of Munich’s famed festival.

  • NEW LOCATION: We are thrilled to have the opportunity to host the first public event at the Downsview Airport Lands (YZD) in one of their airplane hangars.

    The 2024 festival is taking place at 30 Hanover Road, North York in an old airplane hangar. We’re so excited to transform this iconic and massive 100,000+ sqft space into an Oktoberfest Festhalle!
