Paulaner Biergarten
Grab a Bier and Stay Awhile
Take a break in the center of the festival at the Paulaner Biergarten. Umbrella-shaded tables offer a comfortable place to relax with a cold bier, enjoy a bite to eat and catch college or professional football on the big screen.
Cheer on your favorite team, catch up with friends or simply settle in between festival adventures. There is always a good reason to raise a stein—and maybe shout a spirited “Prost, Y’all!”
Bierspiele Stadium
Located next to the Party Zelt, Bierspiele Stadium serves as home base for the Official Addison Oktoberfest Bier Games. The Bier Maiden Stein Carrying challenge, Bier Barrel Rolling and Biergarten Bingo all take place here throughout the festival.
Most paid competitions cost $10 and require onsite registration. All competitors must be at least 21 years old, and participation is limited.


The Bier Games
Compete for Prizes and Bragging Rights
Ready to put your Oktoberfest skills to the test? The Addison Oktoberfest Bier Games invite guests ages 21 and older to compete in a series of lively challenges inspired by Bavarian tradition.
Most competitions take place at Bierspiele Stadium, located next to the Party Zelt. Space is limited, so arrive early or register in advance when required.

BIER MAIDEN STEIN CARRYING
Think you can carry a full armload of steins without spilling a drop? This challenge offers a taste of the skill and balance required of the legendary servers at Munich Oktoberfest.
Competitors will see how many filled Oktoberfest steins they can successfully carry while keeping everything upright and under control.

BIER BARREL ROLLING
Grab a partner and get ready to roll. Teams take turns guiding a Paulaner bier barrel one-handed through the course while racing against another team.
Stay between the lines, keep the barrel moving and work together to cross the finish line first.

BIERGARTEN BINGO
Feeling lucky? Pull up a seat at Bierspiele Stadium and play for the chance to win a cold brew.
No registration is required. Simply stop by, grab a card and join the game.
