Oktoberfest USA tickets are now available for the 64th annual celebration in La Crosse, running September 25–28, 2025. This year promises all the music, dancing, food, and Gemütlichkeit festers have come to love, plus the excitement of welcoming new visitors to one of the city’s signature events.
At Around River City, we recommend securing your Oktoberfest USA tickets early for the best fest experience. Long-time attendees know that ticket lines can be especially busy before the Tapping of the Golden Keg, so buying online is the fastest and easiest way to start celebrating. Oktoberfest Executive Director Hannah Amundson also recommends purchasing online before September 11 to ensure wristband delivery. Early online tickets are $29.95 and include shipping.
Prefer to buy in person? You can get your Oktoberfest USA tickets at the Oktoberfest Grounds Office, 1 Oktoberfest Strasse, during these hours:
- Monday–Thursday: 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
- Friday: 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
General admission tickets purchased in person are $25. Military tickets are available in person only. All tickets are valid for the full festival – there are no single-day tickets.
If you’re not ready to commit to all four days, mark your calendar for Sunday, September 28, when admission is free from 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Enjoy family-friendly activities, live entertainment, and community fun for all ages, no wristband required.
From the lively parades to the joyful polka dancing and local food favorites, Oktoberfest USA brings the La Crosse community together like no other event. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this year’s tradition.
