I used ChatGPT and Gemini to build my Oktoberfest bucket list — these are the 5 celebrations that made the cut
With ChatGPT and Gemini stepping in to be my Oktoberfest event planner, I discovered five events tailor-made for me and my friends’ metro escapades.
I have never attended the annual Oktoberfest festivities, despite passing by bars with loud cheers from September to late October. In 2026, I aimed to make that happen as a New York City resident. Using ChatGPT and Google Gemini, I built a bucket list of five worthwhile Oktoberfest celebrations.
ChatGPT and Gemini suggested the German-American Steuben Parade Fest in Central Park's Rumsey Playfield, an Oktoberfest NYC venue in Pier 15, Zum Schneider recreating the Munich beer-tent experience, Stone Street Oktoberfest on a historic cobblestone street, and Radegast Hall & Biergarten in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The events featured German beer, pretzels, brats, live entertainment, games, and rooftop biergartens. Themed activities like keg tapping and top German beer recommendations were also noted. To maximize the Oktoberfest experience, reserve seats early and choose the right timing based on preferences.
