Beer stein in one hand, a mountain view for days in the other — then a hot tub waiting when you’re done. ????

Oktoberfest is back at Ober Gatlinburg, Sept 25–Nov 1, 2026 — five-plus weekends of German beer, bratwurst, and live polka bands 3,000+ feet up. Ride the tram, work through the beer list, catch a stein-holding contest… then head home to your own private hot tub (and a fenced yard for the pup — Oktoberfest isn’t really a dog’s scene, but your cabin definitely is).

We put together the full guide: festival dates, the band lineup by weekend, tram & pass pricing, and which of our 7 pet-friendly cabins fits your crew best.
