'Lagers in Lawrence' Oktoberfest Returns for 2021

April 7, 2021

The City of Lawrence, in partnership with Indiana On Tap, is excited to present the return of the wildly popular 'Lagers in Lawrence' Oktoberfest. The 2021 event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 18th from 3pm - 7pm. This event will again be one of the largest and premier Oktoberfest events in all of central Indiana.
 
This festive event has an exciting new home for 2021, the Fort Ben Cultural Campus! This picturesque campus features the newly-renovated historic theater, a visual arts center, an artist walk, a history walk, an amphitheater, and the world's first set of musical swings, all surrounded by stunning public art displays and green spaces.
 
Attendees will be allowed UNLIMITED POURS of more than 100+ craft beverages. The event will feature all styles of beer in addition to the popular Lager styles.
 
In addition to featuring one of Indy's best DJ's who will be playing all of your favorite dance hits on stage, we're ALSO excited to feature the Liederkranz Brass Band--a 15-piece authentic Munich Oktoberfest-style German band who will also be performing from 4pm - 6pm!
 
NEW FOR 2021: We're excited to introduce Oktoberfest-style Weiner Dog Racing! That's right, Dachshunds of all shapes and sizes from around central Indiana will be racing in multiple heats during the event in the 'Running of the Weiners,' with the winners competing in the championship heat at the end for the honor of 'Fastest Hot Dog.' Trust us--if you've never seen it, you don't want to miss it!
