Description
Brandonplatz returns for its 4th year on September 26, 2026, bringing Oktoberfest traditions and a full-scale community celebration back to Downtown Brandon. Hosted by Brandon Main Street, this family-friendly event blends Bavarian flair with hometown fun for all ages.
Ticket holders can enjoy 5 authentic beer tastings exclusively available through Capital City Beverages, inside participating downtown restaurants, poured throughout the district. The celebration also includes multiple community biergarten areas, live music, classic German games, trivia, bingo, wood-carving demonstrations, and the always-popular stein hoisting competition, presented by Capital City Beverages in partnership with Samuel Adams. One of this year's community biergartens is sponsored by Performance Therapy.
New this year, a professionally installed big screen sponsored by LocalBandsLive.com brings football to the heart of downtown all afternoon, so you can catch the game without missing the festival.
Beyond the tastings, guests are invited to stroll downtown with a full-size pour from their favorite restaurant, sample German-inspired appetizers, and soak in the festive atmosphere as Downtown Brandon transforms into a lively fall destination.
Brandonplatz is designed for the whole family. The free Kids Zone, sponsored by Community Bank, will feature inflatables, fall games, face painting, and a pumpkin painting station. Pumpkins are free to every child who attends and painted on site, then set out around downtown for the fall season, adding a festive autumn touch and extending the celebration well beyond festival day.
Non-beer drinkers are welcome, too. Guests may purchase a souvenir color-changing stein and enjoy complimentary tea and water refills or use it as a to-go cup for beverage purchases from participating restaurants. The City of Brandon's go-cup ordinance will be activated during the event, allowing beverages to be enjoyed outdoors throughout downtown (state law applies when entering establishments).
Brandonplatz has become one of Brandon's most anticipated fall traditions: celebrating community, local businesses, and a shared love of good food, good drinks, and great company.
