The Harvard Square Business Association is excited to announce the return of the 45th Annual Oktoberfest and the fabulously madcap 19th Annual HONK! Parade on Sunday, October 6th, 2024. Come be a part of this unique, irreverent, family-friendly annual tradition where musicians and spectators “reclaim the streets for horns, bikes and feet”!

Joining them again this year: The Filipino American Festival – a celebration of Filipino music, food and culture!

Harvard Square’s Oktoberfest features food from all over the world, arts, crafts, vintage goods, free samples, and one-of-a-kind gifts. In addition, Oktoberfest boasts beer gardens hosted by Alden & Harlow, El Jefe’s Taqueria, Charlie’s Kitchen, and a wine garden presented by Commonwealth Wine School and Schmitt Sohne & Relax. New this year! Bring your four-legged friends to Oktoberfest’s Dog-Friendly Wine Garden presented by Momma’s Grocery + Wine and sponsored by Tandem Vet complete with the Mobile Vet Unit onsite.

This annual celebration of fall features live music, including a rock music stage and an all HONK! Review on the main stage. Dancing in the streets is encouraged!
