It’s time to dust off your lederhosen!

The Fort Adams Trust and Ragged Island Brewing Co. are excited to announce the Newport Oktoberfest on Sunday, September 18th! Bavaria meets The Ocean State inside the walls of historic Fort Adams where attendees will be able to enjoy authentic German beer, food, and live music.

This 21+ event will become an annual tradition and will serve as the largest annual fundraising event for the Fort Adams Trust, the non-profit organization tasked with maintaining this incredible structure.

Newport Oktoberfest tickets include entry to the festival from 2:00 to 5:30 PM and a stein glass to be used for all-samples-included beer throughout the afternoon. Designated driver tickets include entry to the festival, and a glass upon exiting the festival. Food can be purchased onsite from local caterers and vendors.

All General Admission attendees will receive a custom glass beer stein upon entering the Festival to be used throughout the afternoon for all-pours-included sampling from local breweries Ragged Island Brewing Co., Taproot Brewery, Rejects Beer Co., and several to be announced German staples.

Authentic German wines will be available for pouring and is included in the general admission ticket price.

Authentic Bavarian food will be for sale at the festival, including bratwurst, kraut, roast chickens, giant pretzels, and more!
