What Is Oktoberfest at Dacha Beer Garden?

Dacha Beer Garden Navy Yard hosts a full Oktoberfest season running from Friday, September 18th through Sunday, October 4th. The outdoor patio at 79 Potomac Ave SE becomes the setting for traditional German-style beer garden celebrations, including a ceremonial keg-tapping to open festivities.

The kick-off event on September 18th features a ceremonial keg-tapping with DC Brau, one of Washington DC's best-known local breweries, making it a genuine collaboration between Dacha and a homegrown DC craft brewer.

Live Oktoberfest Music at Dacha Navy Yard

A beer garden Oktoberfest is as much about the music as the beer. Traditional Bavarian performances set the atmosphere and give guests a sense of the real festival experience without leaving the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood.

The opening night includes a live performance from Manuela Horn, billed as the Queen of Oktoberfest, along with her Brew Belles. The performance follows the ceremonial keg-tapping and kicks off the multi-week celebration at Dacha Navy Yard.
