Bethany Burr was the festival director in 2017. For the first time, Charlotte Oktoberfest was held at Symphony Park and the weather was gorgeous! We had 80 breweries and cideries in attendance. The 18th Charlotte Oktoberfest had food trucks and several sponsors who also provided food and drink samples to keep our 2500+ attendees hydrated and fed. We donated $17,500 to the following charities: Charlotte Family Housing, RescuedMe, and On Eagle’s Wings. We’d like to thank all of our volunteers, patrons, sponsors, brewers, vendors, food trucks, and charities who supported our 18th Charlotte Oktoberfest.
