Description
Mississippi’s brew-iest day is back — Oktoberfest style! Join us for the 3rd Annual Brandonplatz, presented by Performance Therapy, as Downtown Brandon transforms into a lively Bavarian-style celebration filled with beer tastings, food, music, and family fun.

A 5oz pour at each participating stop — with more than the guaranteed five tastings available throughout the event.

Opportunities to sample exclusive beers you won’t find anywhere else, including:
Warsteiner Festbier, Yuengling Oktoberfest, Founders Oktoberfest, Chandeleur Oktoberfest, Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest, Paulaner, Sam Adams Oktoberfest, Fertile Ground Oktoberfest, and Weihenstephan Festbier.
Sample beers distributed by Capital City Beverage and Southern Beverage Company at tasting stops across downtown:

🍺 Beyond the Tastings
Once you’ve enjoyed your tastings, stroll downtown with a full-size pour from your favorite restaurant, savor German-inspired appetizers, and enjoy a full afternoon of entertainment, including:
Live music and traditional polka
Axe throwing and a wood carving demonstration
Oktoberfest trivia and bingo
Hammerschlaggen and other classic German games
The legendary Stein Hoisting Competition, where the winner takes home a keg from Capital City Beverages
👨👩👧👦 Family-Friendly Fun
Brandonplatz isn’t just for beer lovers. Bring the whole family to enjoy a Kid’s Zone sponsored by Community Bank, featuring inflatables, fall games, and pumpkin decorating sponsored by RankinFirst and the Rankin County Chamber. Decorated pumpkins can be entered into the contest for a chance to win at Boo!042 on October 23.
🥤 Non-Beer Drinkers Welcome
Not a beer drinker? You can still join the fun! Purchase a souvenir color-changing stein for $10 and enjoy complimentary tea and water refills at designated locations. Or, use it as your to-go cup for a full beer purchase from any participating restaurant.
The City’s go-cup ordinance will be activated during the event, allowing you to enjoy beverages outdoors throughout downtown. Please note: state law prohibits taking a drink purchased from one establishment into another — cups must be empty before entering a different location.
