Parktoberfest FAQ

What time does Parktoberfest start/end? 

2-8pm! Come and go – no need to be here the whole time, just come chill as long as you like within those hours.

Where is Parktoberfest? 

On the Great Lawn at Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate

120 Sycamore Road, Lexington, KY 40502

How much is entry?

Free! No charge to come walk around and enjoy the festivities – though you’ll probably want to bring a little spending money for snacks, beers, etc.!

Of course! The whole event is family friendly (21+ for alcohol consumption, of course) - but kids can come enjoy the music, the pretzels, the food, and our KIDS GROVE - details coming soon!

Will there be food?

What bands are playing and when?

Just like last year we will have a full line-up of bands for Parktoberfest! Check back here to see the line-up closer to October!

Will there be parking available?

There will be LIMITED free parking available, but it will fill up fast. Please be patient with our volunteers and kind and considerate to the park’s neighbors. DO NOT park in driveways, etc. 

Consider carpooling, walking, or riding your bike!

Will there be bathrooms available? 

Yes! Ashland has bathrooms on site that will be open, and we will have port-a-potties to accommodate the number of people we anticipate!

Can I bring my dog? 

Yes, but your pup must be well-behaved and on a leash at all times, and you must pick up after them.  We love your dogs, but it’s going to be crowded so this might not be the best event to bring Fido to. Especially if Fido is a bit nervous.

How much are steins

$10 plastic 20 oz liter steins — comes with first fill from ANY BREWERY! Each brewery will have at least one stein-able beer.

$7 refills all day

Stein quantity is limited and we expect to sell out quickly!

Do I have to buy a stein?? 

Nope! In fact, we’ll have a limited amount available, so if you DO want one of the (really cool) 20 oz steins that Visit Lex provided, you’ll probably want to show up on the early end of things

Can I bring my 32oz refillable stadium cup (or other refillable)? 

Not to this event. Parktoberfest will be 12oz, 16oz, and 20 oz Litre Stein pours only at ALL breweries. We’re doing that to keep things fair for breweries who don’t offer a 32ozer of their own.

What items can I bring?

ENCOURAGED ITEMS: 

• Refillable Water Bottles (there will be a Kentucky American Water refill station) 

• Chairs

• Blankets

• Bags

• Sunscreen

• Bug Spray

• Hand Sani

• Etc. you get the gist!

PROHIBITED ITEMS: 

- NO outside alcohol

- NO Weapons of any kind

- NO GLASS
