How will you celebrate Oktoberfest in Australia for 2017?

German beer, pretzels and sexy little Bavarian costumes make Oktoberfest events the best beer festival in Australia

It’s no secret that Aussies love to party. You can’t deny that. And with our multicultural country, we’re quick to embrace celebrations from other countries (especially if they involve a beer fest). Although Oktoberfest is a German tradition founded over 200 years ago in a country over 13,000 kilometres away, Australia boasts the best celebrations outside Germany. We are a nation of beer lovers after all! Immerse yourself in Bavarian culture, sampling gourmet food, drinking German beer from oversized steins, and soaking it all up with salty pretzels and Bratwurst. And there’s one more thing you’ve got to do to fit in with the German crowd. You’ll have loads more fun if you dress as a sexy Oktoberfest beer wench, a sweet Bavarian barmaid, or a strapping lad dancing up a storm in a traditional Lederhosen outfit. So, if yodelling, cow-bell ringing and beer is your thing, raise your stein, say ‘Prost’, and get along to one of the Oktoberfest events happening across Australia.
