🍻 YOU ASKED, AND WE LISTENED! 🍻

After four years of Biddeford Oktoberfest, we’ve learned a lot. And we hear you loud and clear. This year, we’re filling Oktoberfest with even more to do, see, and experience!

We’re keeping the things you love—local beer, great food, and plenty of community spirit—but turning Lincoln Street into a full-on fall festival. 🎉

Expect to hear bagpipes and accordion players roaming through the crowd, catch a barn or line dancing lesson, and get creative with your own stein or alpine hat. There will be local vendors to explore, FOUR awesome food trucks to choose from, and even professional face painting for festival-goers! 🎨✨

Our beer line up includes:
🍺 Lucky Pigeon Brewing Co.
🍺 Brickyard Hollow Brewing Co.
🍺 Batson River Brewing & Distilling
🍺 The Dunn Bar Irish Pub
🍷 Nibblesford

Come hungry, because we’ll have:
🌭 Omi's Haus
🥨 Plot Twist Pretzels
🍕 Cargo Pizza Company
🧀 Cheese The Day
🍀 The Dunn Bar Irish Pub
🥐 Edelweiss
🥖 BiddoBanh

And yes, we’re still bringing back the things that make Oktoberfest, well… Oktoberfest. 🍺 Get competitive at the stein-hoisting contests, cheer on the dog costume parade, dance with your neighbors, and enjoy a cold local beer while soaking up all that fall festival energy.

Grab a friend and come ready to have some fun for a good cause! 🍻🍂

🐾🍺 Calling all good boys, good girls, and their humans!🐶

It’s time to dust off the lederhosen, fluff up the fur, and get those tails wagging because the Oktoberfest Doggie Costume Parade is coming back! 🎉

Dress your pup up, down, silly, fancy, festive, or full-on German—we want to see it all! 🥨🎩🐕 Whether your dog is ready to rock a dirndl, strut in a lederhosen, or simply show up in their best birthday suit (fur counts 😉), bring them along to join the fun!

📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
⏰ 12–6 PM
📍 Lincoln Street, Downtown Biddeford
🎟 Tickets: https://givebutter.com/biddeford-oktoberfest

Come for the dogs, stay for the craft beer, delicious food, live music, games, and all-around Fall fun! 🍻🎶🌭

So grab your four-legged fest buddy, pick out their finest (or funniest) costume, and get ready to PROST with your pup! 🐾🍺

👉 Tag the friend whose dog absolutely NEEDS to be in this parade!
👉 Start planning those costumes NOW. We have a feeling the competition is going to be ruff. 🐕🏆

💦 And don’t worry about your four-legged fest-goer getting thirsty! We’ll have a water station on site so your pup can quench their thirst, cool off, and get ready to strut their stuff. 🐾
