The Oktoberfest celebration is designed to bring beer enthusiasts downtown to enjoy a night of tasting Georgia craft brews.  Over 30+ downtown business participants extend their business hours, and their hospitality, to downtown guests to serve as tasting locations for the different varieties of craft beer that is available for sampling.  Downtown businesses provide complimentary refreshments, retail sales specials, and other treats for all Oktoberfest guests.  Main Street Newnan releases a limited amount of 450 Oktoberfest tickets for drinkers that are available for purchase.  Tickets will be available for sale online beginning September 1st at $30 per person.  We encourage interested guests to purchase tickets in advance, as tickets usually sell out a week in advance of the event.  Participation in Oktoberfest festivities is cost-free for non-drinking participants.

Upon sign-in, each participant will receive a commemorative beer mug and an informational brochure.  Event-goers must provide a valid photo ID at the registration table located at the Carnegie Library for admittance.  Each participant will also have their wrist stamped to indicate that they are of legal drinking age.  Uber and Lyft is available and provides services throughout the evening for guests who would prefer taking a taxi home.

Event registration will take place from 5:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.   Guests will not be able to have tickets scanned after 7:30 p.m.

Free parking is available along downtown streets  and in the City of Newnan’s public parking lots located at: 13 Lagrange Street;  25 Lagrange Street;  22 Spring Street;  6 First Avenue;  50 East Broad Street; 65 East Broad Street;  41 East Washington Street;  and 22 West Broad Street.
