Fort Moore Oktoberfest

Fort Moore MWR and the Qualified Recycling Program present Oktoberfest at Uchee Creek Campground & Marina!

Get ready to put on your 'Dirndl' or 'Lederhosen', gather the family, and join us for an authentic Oktoberfest celebration of German culture and traditions. Prepare for three days of family-friendly fun, delicious German food and brews, traditional German music, and much more!

The Maneuver Center of Excellence Band will serenade us with the German and American national anthems as Fort Moore's leadership taps the keg. Once you hear "O'Zapft is" (it's tapped), the party begins!

The Oktoberfest Festzelt is the place to be to enjoy authentic German bands performing throughout the weekend. If you prefer the open air, indulge in Schnitzel and German brews in one of our many Biergarten spots in and around the fest area.

For our football fans, the Uchee Creek Activity Center will transform into a German Sportheim (Sports Club) where you can savor your Bratwurst while catching college football or NFL games on six large TVs all weekend long!

Our Kinder Wiesn (children's area), sponsored by Headquarter Nissan, is where the fun never stops! We offer a wide range of free activities to keep the little ones entertained all day long. From inflatables and quad jumps to games, arts & crafts, Krazy hair, face painting, pumpkin patch, ferris wheel, teacups, merry-go-round, and more!

Fort Moore's Oktoberfest is renowned for being the best and most authentic celebration around, and we strive to make each year even more unforgettable than the last. We are thrilled to announce that the one and only Johnny Koenig, the Polkastar himself, will entertain us for all three days of the festival. With his energetic performances and infectious music, The Johnny Koenig Band is sure to get everyone up on their feet and dancing!

But wait, there's more! Sonnenschein Express, an Alpine Oktoberfest show band, will be entertaining the crowds with their traditional instruments and songs. And let's not forget about the Maneuver Center of Excellence Band, who will have everyone dancing!

If a leisurely walk is more your speed, do the Volksmarch, a 3-mile trek through the campground.

On Sunday, join us for a traditional Crossroads church service in the Festzelt at 11 a.m. Experience the Wiesn church service, a Munich Oktoberfest tradition.

Admission and parking are free, and the event is dog-friendly (leashes required).

No visitor's pass is needed if entering via Alabama Highway 165. On-post shuttle service is available for DoD ID Cardholders on Saturday. Don't forget to purchase tokens in advance for food, beverages, and souvenirs.
