While not in October, Gardner’s Oktoberfest “Party in the Street” is a major annual community event hosted by Moon Hill Brewing Co. and the Gardner Festival Committee:

Date: Saturday, Sept 26, 2026

Location: Downtown Gardner, MA

Features: German b**r garden, authentic fare (sausages, pretzels, schnitzel), b**r tastings, lawn games, kids’ activities, and a 5‑lb “steinholding” competition.

Hours: 10 am–8 pm (street party), with Ale House and b**r garden open longer.
This is the last Saturday in September, so it’s the closest major “October‑themed” celebration in Gardner.

Nearby October 2026 Event — Gardner Institute Symposium

The Symposium on Transforming the Postsecondary Experience will be held Oct 14–15, 2026 in Indianapolis, IN, with pre‑conference workshops on Oct 13. It’s a national higher‑ed convening with eight specialized workshops, including curricular redesign and improvement science.

Tip: For October 2026 in Gardner, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s fall programs are the main local cultural events, while the Oktoberfest in late September offers a festive, b**r‑and‑food celebration just before the month begins.
