The story

ICT Bloktoberfest in Wichita

Every October, Naftzger Park in downtown Wichita, Kansas becomes the site of ICT Bloktoberfest, an Oktoberfest-inspired beer garden built around the German autumn beer festival tradition but adapted for a compact urban park setting.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

With more than 100 beer options poured from tap trucks loaded with local, regional, and German selections, ICT Bloktoberfest offers a beer variety well beyond a typical single-brewery festival, giving attendees an actual German Oktoberfest-style tasting range within a compact downtown park setting

02

The mystery stays covered

Its free-to-attend structure removes the cost barrier common to many craft beer festivals, funding itself instead through beer and food sales rather than an admission gate

03

The city starts moving

The event's explicit kid and dog-friendly framing also sets it apart from many beer-centric festivals that market primarily to an adults-only crowd, positioning Bloktoberfest as a family gathering built around a beer garden rather than a beer festival that happens to allow families

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

Six Munich breweries

Beer rule

Only Munich breweries may pour at the Wiesn, which keeps the beer local rather than generic.

Tents and benches

Gathering

The core ritual is sharing long tables, brass bands, roasted chicken, pretzels, and rounds of beer.

Theresienwiese

Place

The festival still belongs to Munich's fairground meadow, named for the royal wedding that started it.

Folk fair

Rhythm

Rides, parades, dress, food stalls, and family days keep it a Bavarian folk festival, not only a beer event.
