Oktoberfest 2020

Overview

Put on your finest lederhosen and yodel to the high heavens, because Oktoberfest is back. Sure, you mightn't be sinking steins in Germany, but you can celebrate the booze-fuelled Bavarian festival right here in the sunshine state. There are two events going down this month: one is taking over The Island, located on the Gold Coast, and the other at Fortitude Valley's supremely OTT Cloudland.

The Island's party is taking place on Saturday, October 24 and, on Saturday, October 31, you can head to Cloudland's affair. Whichever bar you decide to make tracks to, you can expect the digs to resemble a German beer hall, complete with an oompah band and a heap of games to keep you entertained. But, really, you're here for the oversized beers and tasty food, which will be in abundance at both shindigs. As part of your $95 ticket, you'll get a drink and feasting board on arrival. Then, you'll get more share-style German fare — think pretzels, schnitzels, sauerkraut, pork knuckles and bratwurst. Of course, you'll be able to order brews, too, via a COVID-appropriate contactless drinks service.

Round up your mates and celebrate Oktoberfest at The Island on Saturday, October 24 or at Cloudland on Saturday, October 31, from 5–9pm. Get your tickets for The Island here and here for Cloudland.
