We had an amazing time at the Oktoberfest celebrations 2025 today…read more We Uber'ed our short trip from home to Downtown and saved ourselves the hassle of parking. At the fest, the air was electric and filled with excitement - both young ones and from their seniors! There was loud music being played live at different stages strewn across the entire downtown , people were swaying to it and really enjoying themselves between loud shouts of PROST !l before taking their next gulp of beer from their ginormous glasses! The food too being served at every corner - we're all the faire associated with Oktoberfest - bratwurst, Latkas, dogs, both corn and beef, and the bird - a solid leg of turkey along with 7 different types of beers! We immersed ourselves into the experience and came back home very happy and full. The best part was we felt right at home and plan to make attending this an annual tradition! Well done , McKinney !

Excellent time with the kids. They definitely enjoyed themselves. I will definitely return next…read moreyear.

There are shops to grab a bite to eat near the water-walk as well, which is nice if you want to make the most of your visit. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Lots of fun, and all things considered priced about as you'd expect. It's not super huge so it's…read moreeasily doable and all the food you'd expect to be at a fair is here and is spot on. There is a $5 entry fee per person starting this year which is reasonable imo. Parking is expensive if you pay on site so book ahead to save 1/2 on that front. You'll probably want to get that a day ahead though as you want to be able to snag it for your preferred time. That said there is. Rides are mostly 5 per with the occasional 6 to mess up your spending balance;) most games are 5 for one shot and 10 for 3. $tandard fare for a fair but wait! What's nice is you can add single credits though so yay! No extra fees for using the card other than buying a card initially for 3 bucks. Daytime is easier to visit of course but you don't get the lights. Nighttime you get more crowds but lights so choose ;)

You are initially welcomed with lights as you enter the park. We did not pay for the dasher pass,…read morebut we only waited about 2 mins to get through the gate. We got cotton candy and debated on getting the polar bear stuffed animal. It was really small for 25 dollars. The light show was spectacular and they had a radio station where the light show went to the beat of the music. The biggest negative is it took about 15 mins to get through the show for 40 dollars. It was also difficult to find the park hours on their website (ends at 11pm on weekends). If you fill the car (especially with kids) it is a worthwhile experience. If you need a late night activity to pass the time, give it a chance!

The old location by Lewisville Lake was cool, but the current location may be even better. There's live music, arts and crafts, kids playground and fun zone, and 10-15 hot air balloons. The event is free, but parking is $5. A great deal and fun times had by all. Looking forward to next year!

This was a great event. It was my first time attending so I do not know what the previous location…read morewas like. The current location is easy to find and there are multiple parking options, from the park lot ($5 and based on availability), to the school parking lot a good walk away, to the nearby neighborhoods. We parked in the pay lot since it was closest and the proceeds went to a good cause, and the festival was free. There was a good amount of balloons and the lighting of them was the best part. Otherwise, there was a tethered balloon ride, live music and tons of booths selling food and other trinkets. There was also a children's area with inflatables that was a nominal fee to partake in. The best children's activity was the train ride that took you all around the park. The line for this was long. And if that wasn't enough, the park playground was also a good option to entertain.

If you love animals, they literally have horses and donkeys you can love on. The owners and staff are kind, efficient, and friendly --and the wine is good! The last time I showed up was for a '90's country night. The band was talented and we got to learn a couple of line dances! It was a BLAST. I highly recommend!

It was lots of junky crafts and a few (non-crowded) food stalls - All packed together in an alley for only about 4 blocks.
