History of Oktoberfest
On behalf of the Schmidt family and the Columbus Oktoberfest, we would like to welcome you to the Annual Columbus Oktoberfest. Not only does the event have a tremendous history in this city, but the Schmidt family adds 140 years of Columbus tradition as well!
The Schmidt family stepped in on behalf of the Oktoberfest, partnering with the Ohio Expo Center (a previously successful site that offers unique facilities resembling authentic German beer halls) and the Cox Family, another local business offering over 65 years of family experience in the event industry.
We are thrilled to continue the tradition of celebrating the Columbus Oktoberfest at the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds. The Oktoberfest includes the newly renovated Central Park, North Commercial building, the beautiful, spacious Ohio Department of Natural Resources Park, abundant paved parking and easy access.
