Dulcimer Oktoberfest
September 11 - September 12

Join Us for Dulcimer Oktoberfest!
September 11th and 12th, 2026, brings the North Georgia Foothills Dulcimer Association back to the charming town of Helen, Georgia, home of the long-running NGFDA Fall Festival.
This celebratory event brings dulcimer workshops, concerts, and jams right into the middle of Helen Oktoberfest, which kicks off the same weekend.
Gemütlichkeit is a German word that, in English, basically means “a state of warmth, coziness, friendliness, and social harmony.”
Isn’t that a perfect fit for a dulcimer festival during Oktoberfest? Ein prosit..a toast. Der gemütlichkeit…to making music with friends. PROST!
