Get ready, Halifax — Garrison Brewing is cranking the dial to PROST for their 17th Annual Oktoberfest, and this year it's going bigger, bolder, and beerier than ever with a five-day waterfront bash at The BG (Beer Garden)! From September 17-21, the Halifax waterfront transforms into a full-blown Bavarian playground where the beer is flowing, the sausages are sizzling, and the vibes are through the roof.

Picture this: long picnic tables packed with friends (and soon-to-be friends), giant pretzels in one hand, frothy steins in the other, and a live oompah band firing up the party. The Roving Steins and other high-energy bands will keep your feet stomping while you dive head-first into schnitzel, spaetzle, and a glorious lineup of Garrison’s craft beer classics and seasonal brews.

Best part? It’s totally FREE to get in. Just show up in your lederhosen or dirndl (trust us, there will be contests 👀), and let the good times roll. Whether you’re there for the beer, the bratwurst, or just the pure joy of dancing with strangers under string lights by the ocean — this is the party Halifax waits for all year.

So rally your crew, warm up your stein-holding arm, and clear your calendar. Five days. No cover. Maximum fun. This is Oktoberfest at The BG — and you do not want to miss it.
