Admission into the event is free, however if you want to drink beer or wine you must buy our event "Starter Package" first.  Your Starter Package will include a commemorative Oktoberfest mug and your first beer or wine ticket for (UPDATED INFO 7.24.23) $22.  Every beer or wine thereafter is $12 for a 22oz. beer and 6oz. wine. Once you buy your mug you can use that for the duration of this year's Oktoberfest, so if you are coming multiple days, you only need to buy the starter package once and thereafter you can just pay for your drink tickets.  If you have attended Oktoberfest in previous years, please note that you will have to buy this year's mug / starter package as previous years mugs will not be honored. Soda and water may be purchased separately at food stands and prices vary by purveyor.  This is a cash only event and ATM machines are on site near the drink ticket windows.
