Tucson Oktoberfest 2023
Tucson celebrates Oktoberfest 2023 with
social distancing and mask requirements. Oktoberfest events are usually
held in
September and October. This year, there will be only
a few Octoberfest events throughout the city because of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Traditionally, in Germany, Oktoberfest is a 16-day festival
that starts in late September and runs through the first
week in October.
In place of traditional Oktoberfest events, Halloween drive-throughs and corn mazes have become a popular pandemic option.
