Oktoberfest Highlights

At the heart of Oktoberfest is, of course, the beer. Helen offers a wide selection of German-style brews, including classic lagers, wheat beers, and rich, malty Oktoberfest ales. Beer lovers can savor their favorites in giant steins or explore seasonal specialties, all while toasting “Prost!” with friends and fellow festival-goers.

The food offerings are just as exciting, with vendors serving up traditional German fare such as bratwurst, schnitzel, pretzels, and sauerkraut. Whether you're a fan of hearty sausages or prefer sweet treats like apple strudel, the festival’s diverse culinary options are sure to satisfy. Be sure to pair your meal with a pint of beer or a crisp German Riesling for the full Oktoberfest experience.

In addition to food and drink, Oktoberfest features a variety of family-friendly activities, including parades, games, and contests. Visitors can take part in lively polka dances, test their strength in the stein-holding competition, or simply enjoy the festive atmosphere. The town’s proximity to the Chattahoochee River adds an extra element of charm, as you can take a peaceful stroll along the riverbanks or relax in one of the scenic parks after a day of celebration.
