Partyhalle

The Centerpiece of the Celebration

The Partyhalle has been at the center of Addison Oktoberfest for decades, bringing together the music, traditions and festival moments that guests return for year after year. From the Ceremonial Keg Tapping that officially opens the festivities to lively Bavarian bands, dancing and crowd-favorite competitions, there's always something happening on this iconic stage.

Raise a stein, join the dance floor or cheer on the competitors during the Masskrug Holding Competition and Dachshund Dash. Whatever brings you to the Partyhalle, you're in for an unforgettable Oktoberfest experience.
