Brew lovers, listen up. We have some beer-y good news for you. Australia’s largest and longest running Oktoberfest event is returning to the Gold Coast and Brisbane in 2025 and we could not be more ready (to raise our steins). 

Oktoberfest in the Gardens 2025 will be held in seven cities across Australia and it's set to be huge—with 7,500 beer-loving revellers on the Gold Coast and 10,000 patrons in Brisbane in previous years.

Oktoberfest in the Gardens features a massive beer hall, plenty of authentic German food stalls, roving performers, thrill rides, a sideshow alley, silent disco, and a mix of entertainment and on-stage competitions across multiple stages throughout the afternoon and evening. So yes, it's huge. There are still yet-to-be-announced surprises in store for both Brisbane and Gold Coast events.

Now, what you came for. The beer. You’ll be able to taste your way across Europe with a massive selection of imported German beer, cider and wine—the full jam-packed lineup will be dropping prior the festival. Be sure to dress in style in dirndl and lederhosen (traditional Bavarian clothing) for max Oktoberfest vibes and allll of the photos. Trust us, it's basially essential. 

General sale tickets to Oktoberfest in the Gardens will go on sale Wednesday 30 July, and with Oktoberfest selling out across the country in previous years, you don't want to sleep on these.
