For more than 200 years the annual Oktoberfest in Munich has been a defining part of Bavarian culture and has grown to become the world’s largest festival and of course Capetonians love to celebrate almost as much as they love beer. 

Oktober Bierfest will tour to Cape Town this September and October at the Village Green, Newlands Brewery.

“Oktober Bierfest is a recreation of traditional Bavarian beer festivals,” says Andrew Douglas, Director of The Entertainment Group (TEG), producers of the event. “Halls will be draped in traditional style and guests can enjoy an array of Bavarian cuisine supplied by the finest local purveyors of German food, be served by Fraulein while listening to an entertainment lineup, including live Oompah bands.”

A variety of Bavarian accessories will be made available to play the part including Fraulein outfits, dirndls, lederhosen, alpine hats and an assortment of wigs and moustaches.

In order to bring the taste of Germany to Cape Town, Oktober Bierfest founding partner The South African Breweries Ltd (SAB), will be brewing beers exclusively for the event. 

“We are committed to supporting the growth of the beer category as a whole and are looking forward to brewing three special limited edition Bavarian-styled beers. For the first time ever, South Africans can enjoy Royal Bavaria Oktoberfest Bier, King Ludwig’s Munich Dunkel and Protea Edelweiss Krystal Weiss,” says Diarmaid De Burca, General Manager of Newlands Brewery, the SAB’s flagship brewery.

The Oktober Bierfest caters for both the corporate and public hospitality markets providing a great atmosphere to entertain clients and colleagues alike or simply have fun with friends.

Purchase 12 tickets for your own table, or purchase 6 tickets and join a 12 seater table. Guests must arrive by 15:30 on Friday’s and 13:00 on Saturday’s and Sunday’s to claim reserved seating.
