Guide to the Oktoberfest Food Festival
Foodies looking for some Fall fun should consider the returning Oktoberfest Festival at Six Flags over Texas. Running select days in September, October, and November, the event offers over 30 craft and seasonal beers and wines as well as a large variety of German-inspired cuisine. Live music provides the entertainment alongside party games and competitions, offering a chance to take home themed prizes.
Enjoy all the bratwurst, pretzels, schnitzel, and brews you can and then jump on your favorite ride or roller coaster (or maybe add in some buffer time between). It’s the perfect time to break the dirndls and lederhosen, sample refreshing new flavors, play a few games, and celebrate as the Bavarians do.

Oktoberfest Sampler Passes
Treat yourself to several dishes and save money with an Oktoberfest Food Sampler. After buying the pass initially from any food stand, just flash the pass at food stalls, get it stamped, and get your grub.
- Oktoberfest Sampler ($39.99) – Choose 6 food items
- Oktoberfest Sampler + Mug ($49.99) – Choose 6 food items and a beer (or non-alcoholic beverage) with a souvenir Oktoberfest mug
- Oktoberfest Sampler + 2 Mugs ($59.99) – Choose 6 food items and 2 beers with 2 souvenir Oktoberfest mugs
Sampler Pass Cost Savings
A food sampler pass guarantees a cost savings if you plan on buying at least 6 foods. Individual food items cost between $7.99-11.99, so 6 items purchased without a sampler pass would cost $47.94 – $71.94.

The park was closed yesterday and now today and I was planning to visit to use my Oktoberfest food sampler card. What are you going to do since the park was closed and I couldn’t use it?
