WHY MOCKTOBERFEST?
Mocktoberfest offers the same community, music, food, and fun of a traditional Oktoberfest without alcohol. It normalizes sober socializing and shows that celebration doesn’t require drinking.
Mocktoberfest is inclusive. Whether you drink or you don’t, it’s an opportunity to try something new, not centered on alcohol. The festival is queer-friendly, everyone-friendly.
Mocktoberfest is a great way to be curious. You can try a wide variety of NA drinks, meet new people, dance, shop in a curated marketplace, and learn about German culture.
Why not? We love a reason to throw a themed party and invite the public.
