Lagers in Lawrence

Get ready to celebrate Oktoberfest at this beloved community festival returning to the Fort Ben Cultural Campus. Organized by the city of Lawrence alongside Indiana On Tap, Lagers in Lawrence brings the spirit of Munich to the Indianapolis area. The event takes place at a scenic campus featuring several attractions, including a historic theater, visual arts center, artist walk, history walk, amphitheater, and even the world's largest musical swings—so there's plenty to explore beyond the main festivities. This is a great outing for families looking to enjoy some German-inspired fun in a lively, festive atmosphere. Dress up in traditional Oktoberfest attire if you'd like, and plan to spend an afternoon enjoying the campus grounds and all it has to offer. It's the kind of event where you can make a whole afternoon of it, taking in the cultural features of the Fort Ben location while enjoying the celebration.
