Do you have a COVID statement?
The Triangle Oktoberfest Rotary Foundation, in cooperation with Koka Booth Amphitheatre, continues to make the safety of our guests and staff our highest priority.

We also take into consideration the safety protocols and procedures requested by our visiting artists, promoters, and crews.
What does “Gemutlichkeit” mean?
A state of warmth, friendliness and good cheer. Gemutlichkeit!
What does “Prost” mean?
“Cheers” in German accompanied with a beer and commonly followed shortly by a toast. Prost!
Why do I need to pay to get in if I’m not drinking?
A good question. Because we created Triangle Oktoberfest as a way to enjoy a family friendly German festival with plenty of traditional Bavarian food and beer, all in support of some really great health, hunger, and humanitarian causes within our community and abroad.
What kind of beer will be there? What are the prices?
Over 40+ beers on tap! Go with original Bavarian choices such as Paulaner, Spaten, Ayinger, Hacker Pschorr, and Hofbrau or a host of seasonal Oktoberfest brews and local craft favorites.
What kind of food will be there?
Well, for one, there will be lots of authentic Bavarian fare! To start, the Butcher’s Market and Rotary Clubs will serve fire grilled brats. Then try some of Capital Club 16’s amazing food, and Annelore’s German Bakery pastries and other authentic German foods.
How do I get my dog in the Wiener Dog Race?
If you have a living and breathing wiener dog (Dachshund), sign up for our annual race! We welcome D1 athletes, the pretty ones, and even the older mature one.
Can I bring my pet?
