Oktoberfest Vietnam to be held in Hanoi

Hanoi-Oktoberfest Vietnam – one of the most exciting cultural events that has been held in HCM City for the 16th year, will be brought to Hanoi.

Taking place at the Hanoi Daewoo Hotel's outdoor swimming pool, the festival will take place each night from 6pm to midnight from October 6-8. The event will feature a traditional opening ceremony presenting the tapping of the first beer keg and the wearing of traditional Bavarian attire.

At the festival, guests can savour an all-you-can-eat feast of authentic German cuisine including sausages, sauerkraut, sauerbraten and pork knuckle. Throughout the evening, the overflowing buffet will also present a selection of traditional side dishes from roast potatoes to salted pretzels. A host of Pan-Asian and local Vietnamese dishes and a live cooking station also comprise a featured part of the buffet menu. Guests can also enjoy free-flow Schneider Weisse and Krombacher beer directly imported from the brewery.

Bands playing both traditional Bavarian and contemporary sounds, a stunning aerial dancer, multiple DJ sets and choreographed dance troupes will keep guests entertained and the good times flowing. In addition, visitors can join in exciting games and lucky draws with many interesting prizes.

Hanoi Daewoo Hotel General Manager Erwin R. Popov said his entire team members were excited to bring WMC Group’s unique take on Oktoberfest to the city.

“2022 marks the first year Oktoberfest will be held at our hotel,” he said.

“The preparation for the three-night event is being carried out with the companionship of our sponsors and partners to provide both local and expat customers with an unforgettable event full of delicious foods, signature German beers and impressive live entertainment.”

A similar event will also be held in HCM City’s Windsor Plaza Hotel from September 27 to October 2.

There will also be celebrations to mark the occasion organised by the German Business Association at the JW Marriot, Hà Nội, from September 29 to October 2.

It means the capital city will host not one, but two Oktoberfests.
