Oktoberfest is one of Australia’s favourite borrowed traditions. Combining our love of good food, drink and company, Oktoberfest celebrates everything German, allowing locals a true Munich-worthy experience right here in the heart of Brisbane. For two weekends, the Brisbane Showgrounds will be transformed into a lively street festival with plenty of things to see, smell, taste and touch. The Brisbane Oktoberfest has been ranked as one of the top-ten Oktoberfest celebrations in the world, so it’s clear we take our adopted German heritage seriously.

Over the weekends of October 10–12 and 17–19, guests can taste some delectable German cuisine and sample the finest German beers and wines. Dance in the authentic Oktoberfest Tent to the sounds of the Bavarian Oktoberfest Band and learn how to dance like a German. Ticket prices vary for each day – visit the Oktoberfest Brisbane website for more information than you can shake a bratwurst at.
