Since 1810 “O’zapft is” has been the trademark phrase that heralds the opening of the famous Munich Oktoberfest. Over 6 million people annually, of all ages, and of all nationalities, take part in the world’s largest Folk Fest.

Did you know that the second largest Oktoberfest worldwide takes place in Canada? Kitchener-Waterloo, to be precise. Not to be outdone, Vancouver will host its own Oktoberfest in the perfect Bavarian setting of the Vancouver Alpen Club, with authentic music, schuplattler dancing, yodeling, bratwurst, and of course: the best of German Beer on tap!

The German Band the Silverstars will perform.

We will also host the Bavarian Olympics, featuring beer drinking, Bavarian dancing, and yodeling competitions, with prizes at stake. We will also have a Ms. Oktoberfest contest.

Sport your Lederhosen or Dirndl dress and party with your friends in true Bavarian fashion.

With cover price guests receive a free glass beer stein and your first beer!
