Gertens Oktoberfest 2026

Gertens Oktoberfest is taking over our Garden Center on September 12th and 13th from 12pm to 5pm! We will have authentic biergarten tables in our outdoor tropicals lot so you can grab a seat and enjoy the weekend Bavarian-style! Omni Brewing will be on site all weekend pouring their Oktoberfest beer, along with other beers, wine, seltzers, and soft drinks.

Tickets can be purchased here: https://www.gertens.com/events/oktoberfest

Included with your ticket: a 14oz souvenir Gertens plastic beer mug (BPA free), your first drink free, and one free 9″ mum or a $10 credit towards a larger mum or other fall annual.

Gertens will be fully stocked with fall annuals, mums, patio planters, hanging baskets, and everything else needed to transform your landscape for fall, so make sure to check out the selection while you are here.

We will have food and drink trucks on site as well! Baldy’s BBQ will be serving barbecue, brisket, mac and cheese, and sides both days. On Saturday, we will also have Chick-fil-A and Sunrise Breeze serving dirty sodas and lattes. On Sunday, the Brickoven Pizza Bus and Social Horse will be here.

We will also have live music! Pat Wagner and The Sweet Peas band will play from 2pm to 5pm on both days. We will have a variety of yard games set up and are also offering an optional family-friendly workshop called “Paint a Pot, Pot a Friend” for $10. Kids can decorate their own pot, plant a small flower or foliage plant, and take home their creation with care instructions. If you visit on Saturday between 1pm and 3pm, you can also meet Dill and Pickle, our visiting llamas dressed up in fall flair.
