Oktoberfest brings bratwurst and Bavarian tradition to Buffalo

Buffalo Holiday Market is collaborating with the city to host Oktoberfest from October 1 to 30 on East Mohawk Street. This monthlong celebration in the Queen City offers free admission and features a biergarten, bratwurst, pretzels, vendors, and live music. Additionally, preparations for Oktoberfest 2026 highlight various Bavarian foods, emphasizing that pretzels are not the only vegan and vegetarian options available for attendees looking for plant-based alternatives during the traditional German festivities.
