Oktoberfest Szczecin 2026

Oktoberfest Szczecin 2026 - a beer-filled weekend in the city centre

The first weekend of October is a great time for an autumn city break in Szczecin. From 2 to 4 October 2026, Aleja Kwiatowa, right in the heart of the city, will become a meeting place for fans of beer, good food and music. Oktoberfest Szczecin 2026 will run for three days, with a programme featuring tastings, concerts, talks, quizzes, stand-up comedy and guided walks.

Beer, food and three days of events

Oktoberfest Szczecin is an opportunity to discover both classic beers and some less obvious flavours. Alcohol-free options will also be available. Add good food to the mix, along with a programme that goes far beyond tastings – from meetings with brewery representatives and brewing demonstrations to concerts, DJ sets and events exploring Szczecin's beer history.

Another major advantage is the festival's location. Aleja Kwiatowa is situated right in the centre of Szczecin, next to the Tourist Information Centre. This makes it easy to combine Oktoberfest with sightseeing and make the event part of an autumn weekend in Szczecin.
