Kitchener-Waterloo is home to Canada's largest Oktoberfest — a nine-day city-wide celebration each October that pulls in hundreds of thousands of visitors — plus a growing year-round craft-beer scene at breweries like Descendants, Barnstormer, Together We're Bitter, and TWB Cooperative Brewing. During Ontario Craft Beer Week in June, KW breweries host tap takeovers, cask nights, and collaboration launches alongside the province-wide slate.
