Entertainment

It’s great entertainment for the young and the “young at heart” at Oktoberfest Brisbane 2009!

Immerse yourself in the authenticity of our larger Oktoberfest tent as Oktoberfest Brisbane 2009 inspires visitors to dance, sing and “schunkeln*” all day and night.

Delight in Brisbane’s spring weather and the fabulous atmosphere of our beer garden. Enjoy the sounds of the band drifting out to tables under the boughs of majestic Moreton Bay figs - twinkling with fairy lights at night.

Oktoberfest Brisbane is perfect for a leisurely family weekend brunch, or an evening out with friends.

This is the nearest you will get to experiencing the real Munich Oktoberfest
or German folk festivals without actually being in Germany!

All the crowd favourites from last year are back, plus even MORE activities and entertainment!

• Oktoberfest Oompah band will be flying in directly from Munich to keep everyone singing and dancing to traditional and modern hits!
• Traditional German dancing and cow bell ringing from the popular “Alpenrosen”
• "Miss Oktoberfest" & "Bavarian Strongman" competitions – fun-packed thrills and laughter for competitors and spectators
• NEW "Best Dressed" competition! Friday 16th October - come in your best traditional German costume - men, women and couples categories!
• Yodeller “Heidi” entertaining us & finding the audience’s hidden yodelling talent
• Julia’s traditional puppet theatre – a huge kids’ hit
• MORE activities, rides and face painting for the whole family!
• Schools only! “Oktoberfest for Teens” - learn about Germany in a fabulously fun way with your class.

*Schunkeln is what everyone does at German folk festivals! Sitting on benches, you link arms with those on your left and right, and sway & sing to the music.
