Beaver Oktoberfest returns to downtown Beaver, Ohio, October 2-4, 2026, as a free community celebration of the village’s German heritage. The event, which began in 1985, has drawn families and visitors for more than four decades with food, music, vendors, rides, a parade, and other attractions along Main Street.
This year’s festival highlights free carnival rides available all weekend long. Friday’s rides are sponsored by Austin’s Heating & Cooling, a local Beaver business.
Admission remains free. The long-running gathering continues its tradition of bringing neighbors and visitors together for fall family fun in Pike County.
