Andrews Oktoberfest

Presented by Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • 11am-5pm

Join the throngs of Fall festival lovers (just like you) who will be on Main Street in Andrews at our Annual Oktoberfest! From Main Street you can see the leaves starting to turn while you shop from local shops and vendors and enjoy some great food, beer, and wine.

Beer, beer, and even wine! Just like the traditional Oktoberfest in Germany, both beer and wine will be available in the Beer & Wine Garden. Wristbands are required to purchase beer & wine and will be sold (with an ID check) at the Beer & Wine Garden on Main Street, or at the intersection of Main Street and Chestnut (near the FestHalle). Open containers are allowed on Main Street in designated areas with a wristband. Please drink responsibly!

FernCrest Winery Tasting Room
