The City of Rockville’s Rocktobierfest celebrates German culture with beer, bands, bratwurst, and more! This annual Oktoberfest festival began in 2017 as part of the 60th anniversary celebration of Rockville’s sister city relationship with Pinneberg, Germany, and has continued ever since. This free festival features two stages of live music, food, beer sales from local breweries, an artisan shopping area, and kids’ activities. This annual event attracts over 8,000 people to Rockville Town Center.
