What Is Happening at Dacha Navy Yard This Oktoberfest Weekend?

Dacha Beer Garden Navy Yard is hosting a two-night Oktoberfest celebration on Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19. Both evenings feature live Bavarian-style music on the covered outdoor patio at 79 Potomac Ave SE, Washington DC 20003, steps from Nationals Park and the Capitol Riverfront.

The headliner is Manuela Horn, known as the Queen of Oktoberfest, performing both nights. Friday's show kicks off at 6 PM alongside the Johnny Koenig Band. Saturday brings Manuela back with the Potomactaler, keeping the Oktoberfest energy going through the weekend.

Who Is Performing at Dacha Beer Garden Oktoberfest?

Live Oktoberfest music at a beer garden means brass, accordion, and the kind of crowd participation that turns a Friday evening into a proper festival. Dacha Navy Yard has assembled a genuine lineup for both nights rather than a single set.

Manuela Horn headlines Friday and Saturday. The Johnny Koenig Band joins her on Friday, September 18 starting at 6 PM. The Potomactaler, a DC-area Bavarian ensemble, performs with Manuela on Saturday, September 19.
