St. Al's Oktoberfest, also known as Oktoberfest Chicago at St. Alphonsus, is one of Chicago's most popular beer festivals. Since its foundation, it has grown hugely: a tiny place on a parking lot has expanded into Southport and neighboring streets. This three-day beer extravaganza welcomes everyone to rejoice in a German-like atmosphere.
St. Al's Oktoberfest keeps up with German traditions and offers homemade bratwurst, German Oom Pah Pah bands, plenty of live music on two stages, and, of course, lots of great beer. It's held in a beer garden under a big-top tent. You can find more details on the official website in the External Resources section below.
