October 11 to 14 Oktoberfest in San Javer

The Mar Menor town is hosting a weekend of live music with German beer and food

The annual Oktoberfest makes a welcome return to San Javier over the long holiday weekend of October 11 to 14, bringing with it a series of live musical performance as well as the renowned typical German beer and food which has proved so popular in recent years.

The municipal marquee opens at the Recinto Ferial to the public on October 11 from 20.00 to 2.00 with the official opening ceremony at 20.45, and then opens on Thursday 12^th from 12.00 to midnight, on Friday 13^th from 20.00 to 20.00 and on Saturday 14^th from 12.00 to 2.00. Throughout the four days the area will be transformed with the Oktoberfest tents typically found at the world-renowned festival in Munich, recreating a Bavarian atmosphere with themed costumes, live music, a German 'biergarten' (beer garden), and gastronomy.

The San Javier Oktoberfest is the only one that has the official recognition of Paulaner Brauerei München beer, with the brand’s different varieties of wheat beer, lager and Salvator imported from Munich specially for the event. Gluten-free and non-alcoholic beers are also available, while among the food are various types of German sausages, roast chicken and hamburgers.

All proceeds from the festival are donated to charity this year going to Atención Temprana Aidemar, Dabada and STOP FA.
