Benicia Oktoberfest & Marketplace

Benicia Oktoberfest blends old-world charm and modern-day fun on Saturday, September 19, 2026, on the First Street Green.

BENICIA – Raise your steins as the Benicia Chamber of Commerce presents the annual Oktoberfest & Marketplace! What began as a spirited celebration of German culture has quickly become a beloved community tradition, drawing festivalgoers from all walks of life for a day filled with authentic food, festive music, and local flavor. Break out your lederhosen and embrace the festive spirit as the lively tunes of a German Oompah band fill the air. Grab your pint of the iconic beer—brewed in an ancient Bavarian monastery—and pair it with sausages and sauerkraut. You’re in for a culinary passport to Germany! Beyond the bratwurst, the Marketplace boasts more than 20 local vendors, offering handmade crafts, unique gifts, and souvenirs that reflect Benicia’s artistic spirit. It’s the perfect place to find a treasure while supporting local artisans. This year’s expanded Kids Zone, free for children 12 and under, includes a large inflatable play area, face painting. Family-friendly games and contests, including the ever-popular stein-holding challenge, ensure that laughter and energy fill the green all day long.
