It’s that time of year! It’s time for great beer and brats in Panama City Beach!
At Aaron Bessant Park in Pier Park, PCB Oktoberfest is on for three days of German beer, food, music, as well as activities for kids and families.

Get ready for great German food! Pair your beer with brats, either famous or smoked, meterwurst, or hot dogs (with or without sauerkraut).
Plus, nothing is better with your new and old favorite beer than giant pretzels with beer-infused cheese. Come out for good eats, including other traditional Oktoberfest fare.
