When: October 6 - 8

Founded by Germans in 1846 and named after Prince Frederick of Prussia, Fredricksburg is known for being the heart of Texas German culture. In fact, "Fritztown" is home to a special German dialect called Texas German, so it's no wonder that its Oktoberfest made this list.

The festival features brass bands that play polka and oompah music alongside traditional folk dancers and yodelers, and authentic German food such as flammkuchen, mettwurst, and pfeffernüsse are abundant. Of course, there is also a plethora of imported beers.
