Fort Walton Beach's beloved Soundside Waterfront Bar transforms into a Bavarian beer garden for one unforgettable afternoon on Saturday, September 26. Starting at 3PM, Soundside Oktoberfest brings the spirit of Munich's famous celebration to the shimmering shores of the Emerald Coast — cold craft steins, festive food, and the unbeatable backdrop of the Fort Walton Beach waterfront.
Soundside is already one of the area's top waterfront destinations, known for its casual vibe, exceptional views, and ice-cold drinks. During Oktoberfest, expect themed specials, seasonal brews, and the kind of laid-back good time the Gulf Coast does best. It's the perfect excuse to head into town, sample something new, and soak up the last warm weekend vibes before fall fully settles in.
Whether you're a beer connoisseur or just looking for a fun Saturday outing, Soundside's Oktoberfest on the water is a festive, low-key way to mark the season. Call ahead or check their Facebook for lineup details as the event approaches.
