Louisville might be named after the King of France, but we love a good German beer.

Thanks to the 19th-century German immigrants that settled here — and their beer gardens — there’s no shortage of Oktoberfests this time of year modeled after the original in Munich.

So let's raise a stein and say "Prost!" with these six Oktoberfest events in Derby City.

BARKtoberfest | Saturday, Sept. 19

This one's for the dogs. Head to PG&Js Dog Park Bar for wiener races, stein hoisting, pumpkin bowling, and more benefitting PBSF Dog Rescue.

Oktoberfest at Lynn Family Stadium | Friday, Sept. 25

During Racing Louisville's match against San Diego Wave, fans can visit the stadium’s beer garden to enjoy a festbier-style beer collaboration between Ten20 and Noble Funk, German food, including schnitzel sandwiches and spaetzle inspired by Louisville’s own Gasthaus, music by Schnapps Band, and a stein hoisting competition where the winner gets upgraded to club access for the game.

Norton Commons Oktoberfest | Friday, Oct. 2

There will be plenty of gemütlichkeit — that's German for friendliness — on display at this east Louisville neighborhood from 6 to 8 p.m. Plus, hear music from The River City Polkatz and enjoy grilled bratwursts and Bavarian-style soft pretzels from the Celtic Pig and Alchemy.

Bigrocktoberfest | Saturday, Oct. 3

Big Rock Bar & Brew is pulling out all the stops for its first-ever Oktoberfest. Don your lederhosen for an afternoon of live music, a dog costume contest, stein hoisting, German food menu, local vendors, a petting zoo + Tattoo Coliseum will be onsite if you need a stein tattoo this year.

West Sixth NuLu Oktoberfest | Saturday, Oct. 10

Reserve a decorated table for four to eight of your closet friends this beer-drinking season. Reservations are $115 and include four take-home steins, 12 beer tickets, Olivia's Beer Cheese + hard pretzels, and a 20% discount on food. And if you' want to level up your personal celebration, you can add on the Galley Oktoberfest Party Platter, which includes three bratwursts, fries, pretzel sticks, and West Sixth beer cheese.

Steins on Main | Saturday, Oct. 17

The Louisville Downtown Partnership and Against the Grain Brewery put their steins together to transform the outdoor RePurposed lot at 615 W. Main St. into an Oktoberfest extravaganza with a traditional tapping of the keg, a yodeling contest, a schntizel toss, a best dressed competition, and of course, local beers.
