Welcome to Jarvis Square's Oktoberfest Tasting and Festival!

The crisp autumn air is here, and we're bringing the festive spirit of Oktoberfest back to our neighborhood! Jarvis Square is transforming into an open-air Biergarten, and you're invited. We've partnered with an incredible lineup of Chicagoland's most beloved breweries—plus some exciting regional and international guests—for a premier tasting event dedicated to fantastic craft beverages and great company.

Imagine strolling through the square on a perfect fall afternoon, your commemorative tasting glass in hand, discovering new favorites with every pour. From traditional German-style lagers to hazy IPAs, rich ciders, and even refreshing spritzes, there's a taste for every palate. This is your chance to meet the brewers, connect with friends and neighbors, and celebrate the season in style.
