Sommerfest 2026

Saturday, June 27; Noon to 11pm

Admission Price: $10 online in advance, $12 at the gate (cash only). Children 16 and younger are free and don't require a ticket.

Please note: no dogs or other pets are allowed at GACSRI events, service animals only.

At the GACS, we host an annual Sommerfest to welcome in the warm weather months. We like to think of our Sommerfests as a summertime version of the Wiesn or Oktoberfest. Each June, we welcome guests to our Sommerfest in Pawtucket, which is held in our outdoor Biergarten, indoor Ratskeller bar, and large upstairs Bierhalle. Traditional live music is played throughout and our guests can share in 'der Gemütlichkeit' (coziness or relaxation) with German beer and food offerings.

Sommerfest is a ticketed event and all guests (16 years and older) require a ticket for entry. Tickets can be purchased in advance online for $10 (+ a small processing fee) or purchased at the gate on the day of the event for $12 (cash only).
