When: September 14 - 17

Frankenmuth still carries the same charm it had when it was established as a Bavarian mission colony for Lutherans back in 1845. The town is referred to as Michigan's Little Bavaria, and really looks the part.

As for its Oktoberfest celebration, the mayor of Munich once officially sanctioned it. As the only event outside of Munich to receive such an honor, it's one of the most authentic Oktoberfests in the US, filled with authentic German music, food, and, of course, Hofbräuhaus München beer.
