Fountain Hills Sister Cities is proud to continue a cherished Fountain Hills tradition by hosting the annual Oktoberfest celebration in the fall of 2026 in beautiful Fountain Hills, Arizona – home of the world-famous fountain! The German cultural festival, recognized as one of only a handful of authentic Bavarian-style events in the entire Valley region, promises to deliver an immersive experience of German culture, cuisine, and festivities. This highly anticipated two-day celebration will take place during the weekend of October 2 and 3, with festivities running from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day in the spacious outdoor Centennial Circle area and the adjacent indoor Fountain Hills Community Center.
This year will be a unique experience. Fountain Hills Sister Cities is partnering with the International Dark Sky Discovery Center (IDSDC). Ticket holders will receive exclusive early access to telescope stargazing, the lobby and gift shop. This is also the first time you will be able to purchase a membership to the IDSDC before official opening.
