Upland Oktoberfest

My college roommates and I always go to Upland Oktoberfest as a reunion each year. Even the rain this year could not keep us away!What is better than an afternoon of good beer, good food, and good entertainment? I purchased my tickets on Groupon and was given a stein upon arrival. You could fill the stein (1 liter) for $7. You can't beat that price for a beer in the city for an event! There is also always quite the line up of food trucks at this festival. I was definitely not disappointed in that department this year. Everything looked amazing! This year's line-up of bands were slightly questionable, but they at least knew how to put on a show! Hopefully you'll join me at Upland Oktoberfest next year! Just come ready for a good time!

Upland Oktoberfest is a fantastic new festival in Military Park. The festival started with a great kick off in 2012 and has gotten even better this year. Great beer, music, and food. There are 4 beers on draft (Pale, Dragonfly, Oktoberfest, and Wheat) for $5 pints and $7 stein fills. Admission is ~$5 in advance on EventBrite and $10 at the door. They have 5-10 food trucks on site this year for plenty of food options. The event sets up lots of tables and chairs throughout military park which creates a fun atmosphere. There is a single stage with rotating bands throughout the day. Plenty of space and clean porta-potties. Lines for food and drink are short and fast. Lots of people are dressed in traditional Bavarian attire. I look forward to seeing this event get better and fuller every year. Ein Prosit!

This was my second year at this event. Last year my husband and I had just moved to Indy and saw this opportunity on Groupon. Best decision we made! Like last year we didn't get there until around 5. The crowd was good. It wasn't too crazy. The food truck options were great and the beer was wonderful. We will be returning!

Don't know what happened but last year's Upland Oktoberfest was 10 times better. There were maybe half the amount of vendors and even less people this year. Simply put, it was not any fun and I left after an hour or so after eating at one of the local restaurants. Hopefully next year it can be corrected but even with that being said, I probably won't make the effort to head over to check it out as there are so many other Oktoberfest events that I will most likely go to.

Annual Oktoberfest by Upland at Military Park. Nice assortment of food trucks as well as Upland Beer. Great event to enjoy an Oktoberfest and listen to live music. The German music starts later in the day.

This was a great little festival at Military park. A lot of fun music, great people watching and a wonderful variety of beers. I hope next year's offer more food trucks on site. We bought our tix through Groupon, and got a great deal.
