Autumn in Chatham brings with it one of the most anticipated community events of the year: Oktoberfest. This year, the celebration takes place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Kate Gould Park and the Town Hall lot. Oktoberfest has become a beloved tradition, bringing together locals and visitors alike for a day filled with live music, delicious food, and festive activities for all ages.
The event features live performances on two stages, showcasing talented musicians from across New England. I'm proud to be one of the three sponsors supporting the music, helping to make this year’s lineup even more special. Visitors can enjoy a lively mix of genres while soaking in the festive atmosphere of fall in Cape Cod.
In addition to music, Oktoberfest offers an artisan village where local craftspeople and vendors display their unique goods, a variety of food options from local eateries, and family-friendly activities to keep kids entertained throughout the day. Attendees can also sample offerings from local breweries, making it a true celebration of the community’s culinary and cultural scene.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or visiting Cape Cod for the season, Oktoberfest in Chatham is an event that captures the spirit of fall, combining music, food, and community in one memorable day.
