Mark Your Calendars: Three Unmissable Oktoberfest Nights
It all kicks off on October 9, setting the stage for what’s to come. On October 16, the festivities hit their peak with an unforgettable night of revelry. Hong Kong Jockey Club CEO Mr. Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges and Consul General of Germany Mr. Stefan Bredohl will ceremoniously tap the first barrel, officially launching the festivities. But the party doesn’t stop there—on October 30, the final Oktoberfest night promises to keep the energy high with more music, more dancing, and more reasons to celebrate.
Dance, Sing and Celebrate: The Entertainment
Oktoberfest at Happy Wednesday is your ticket to a brilliant Bavarian experience. On October 9, The Young Bucks, a six-piece folk-rock band, will set the tone with their high-energy tunes, guaranteed to get the crowd moving. The celebration continues on October 16 with traditional German folk band Die Notenhobler, bringing the sounds of Bavaria to life, all the while Oktoberfest dancers perform a traditional Schuhplattler with intricate footwork and rhythmic clapping. Then, on October 30, The Young Bucks return to close out the month with another unforgettable performance.
A Feast Fit for Oktoberfest
No Oktoberfest would be complete without diving into the rich, hearty flavours of Bavarian cuisine. The Happy Wednesday Food Truck is pulling out all the stops, serving up a mouth-watering selection of traditional specialties. Sink your teeth into crispy roasted pork knuckle, paired with potato mash & Sauerkraut; savoury Nuernberger and veal sausages; and Beef ‘Sauerbraten’, served with the comforting duo of red braised cabbage and potato mash.
For those looking to mix it up a bit, the Giant Laugen Pretzel Sandwich offers a satisfying twist, as does the Smoked Black Forest Ham with Laugen Pretzel with a touch of pickles. And of course, no Bavarian feast is complete without pretzel—the ideal companion to a crisp, cold stein of beer.
Oktoberfest is all about the beer, and the Beer Garden will be flowing with some of the finest brews to keep your stein filled all night long. Whether you’re a beer connoisseur or just in the mood to celebrate, the selection at Oktoberfest will ensure that every sip is a taste of Germany. Prost!
