Every September, one date on the Fraser Valley events calendar draws a crowd that shows up hungry, thirsty, and dressed for the occasion: Sausage Party, Farm Country Brewing’s annual Oktoberfest celebration in Langley City. On September 19, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, the tradition continues for another year — a full day built around German-style sausages, a German Festbier named after the party itself, and live polka that keeps the stein-raising going from afternoon into night.
Search “Oktoberfest events in Langley BC” or “Fraser Valley Oktoberfest” and this is the celebration locals point to — a local craft brewery event, not a touring festival, with the same reliable lineup of beer, food, and live music every year.
A Langley Tradition With Real Roots
Sausage Party isn’t a new idea dressed up for this year — it’s become a genuine annual fixture on the Langley craft beer calendar. The event has run in some form for several years now, each September bringing its own twist: limited-edition steins and photo stations in earlier years, an expanding food lineup, and by 2025, two full live polka sets and a dedicated Oktoberfest raffle draw. What started as a single-day beer release has grown into one of Langley’s most anticipated seasonal parties, with the same core ingredients every year — great sausage, great beer, and a reason to dust off the lederhosen.
That kind of consistency is part of the appeal. Regulars know what to expect, first-timers get the full Oktoberfest experience in one visit, and the beer that started it all keeps drawing people back on the exact date it’s released. It’s also why Farm Country Brewing has become one of the go-to venues for Oktoberfest in Langley — a single brewery organizing and hosting its own celebration every year, rather than a rotating lineup of vendors.
Meet the Beer: Sausage Party German Festbier
The event takes its name directly from the beer that headlines it. Sausage Party German Festbier is a classic German-style Festbier — smooth, clean, and pale gold in colour, with a delicate malty character and light floral hop notes. It’s built in the same tradition as the beers poured at Munich’s original Oktoberfest tents: easy-drinking, food-friendly, and brewed specifically for celebration.
It’s not just a crowd favourite — it’s an award winner. Sausage Party German Festbier took home a 2022 BC Beer Award, a recognition earned within just a few years of the brewery’s launch. On Untappd, it holds a strong 3.8-star average across hundreds of check-ins, with fans regularly returning for it each Oktoberfest season and collecting the seasonal “Celebrate Oktoberfest” badge along the way.
Alongside Sausage Party, the brewery’s Oktoberfest Lager rounds out the fest-beer lineup — a smooth, clean, golden brew with its own delicate malt character and subtle floral hop notes, also recognized at the 2022 BC Beer Awards and the Canada Beer Cup. Between the two, it’s a strong argument for Farm Country Brewing as one of the standout local breweries hosting Oktoberfest near Langley.
The Food: German-Style Sausages Done Right
No Oktoberfest is complete without the sausage, and this event delivers a full lineup of German-style sausages designed to pair with the Festbier on tap. Think classic Bavarian flavours — the kind of hearty, beer-hall-style fare that turns a casual afternoon pint into a full Oktoberfest feast. It’s the closest thing Langley has to a true Oktoberfest food and drink package, with the sausage menu and the fest beers built to go together — approachable enough for first-time Oktoberfest-goers and satisfying enough for anyone who grew up on the real thing.
Live Bavarian Polka, All Day Long
Music is as central to Sausage Party as the beer and the bratwurst. The Silver Stars, a traditional German polka band, return to perform live Bavarian polka across two sets — one in the early afternoon and one in the evening — bookending the day with the kind of oom-pah energy that gets steins swaying. It’s a direct nod to Oktoberfest’s origins as a festival built around communal celebration, music, and toasting together rather than sitting quietly in the corner.
Where Oktoberfest Actually Comes From
Oktoberfest as a tradition dates back more than two centuries, tracing its roots to a royal wedding celebration in Bavaria in the early 1800s. What began as a one-time festival grew into an annual autumn tradition across German-speaking regions and, eventually, the world — centered on the same things Sausage Party celebrates today: good beer, hearty food, live music, and a shared table. Farm Country Brewing’s event is a local, Langley-sized take on that same spirit.
Dress the Part
Dirndls and lederhosen are very much encouraged. Part of what makes Sausage Party feel like a real Oktoberfest rather than just a beer release is the crowd leaning into the tradition — Bavarian outfits, raised steins, and a room that feels like it’s celebrating something bigger than a single beer.
