Willkommen to Rowlett Oktoberfest

Grab your dirndl, lederhosen and your friends because Oktoberfest is taking over Live on Main on September 19! As always, Live on Main is free to attend. Presented by Bankhead Brewing Company, the evening will feature live polka from Latin Express, bier games, outfit competitions and Masskrugstemmen, the traditional stein-holding competition. Want to test your strength? Sign up for Masskrugstemmen at Bankhead.


Two bier tents will be serving throughout the night. Draught Haus will pour drafts, while Bier Haus will offer cans. For the full Oktoberfest experience, VIP packets include a stein, three bier refills, a commemorative shirt and access to the covered VIP seating area on Bankhead’s patio. A wristband fast pass is also available with three bier refills.



Come hungry, too! Bankhead will serve Oktoberfest favorites alongside Live on Main’s food trucks, food vendors and downtown marketplace vendors. Dress the part, bring your crew and get ready to say “Prost!” in downtown Rowlett.

We Will

Never Forget

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed and the heroes who stepped forward on September 11, 2001.


This morning, the City of Rowlett gathered for a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony to honor their memory.

We will always remember, and we will never forget.
