Cullman Oktoberfest 2025

The 2025 Cullman Oktoberfest will be held October 2-4 at the Festhalle Farmer's Market and Depot Park. Craft Show hours are Thursday, October 2: 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM and Friday, October 3 & Saturday, October 4: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM. Cullman is a proud German town, and Oktoberfest gives the city the chance to celebrate its deep German heritage. The festival features locally brewed beer, traditional German bratwurst, and both modern and German music throughout the event.

Oktoberfest is a family-friendly event that welcomes pets and includes special activities for them. Festival highlights include Miss Oktoberfest Contest, Tapping of the Keg, Live Music, Local Food Vendors, Craft Show, Kids Activities, Wiener Dog Race, Dog Costume Contest, Cornhole Tournament, and plenty of beer. The application deadline is July 18, 2025, with jury dates July 21-25, 2025, and notification of acceptance on July 28, 2025.

Booth fees are $300 per tent with electricity available for an additional $25. The application is free and emerging artists are accepted. Informational or multi-level marketing companies will not be accepted - organizers are looking for fun, unique vendors that will enhance the Oktoberfest Craft Show. A covered area/tent will be provided, and the festival is held outdoors with no rain date. Vendors must carry their own liability insurance and are responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax.
