Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival, held annually in Munich, Germany, attracting millions of visitors from around the globe. Celebrating Bavarian culture, the event originated in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration and has since grown into a 16 to 18-day festival filled with traditional music, folk costumes, hearty German cuisine, and, of course, vast amounts of beer. Attendees enjoy locally brewed beer in giant tents, while participating in parades, rides, and games. Though rooted in Munich, Oktoberfest-inspired events are held worldwide, including on our very own home island of Mallorca.

Oktoberfest at the MCC

Get ready to raise your steins! Join the Mallorca Country Club on October 18 and 19 for their very own MCC Oktoberfest, complete with great music, delicious food, and an unbeatable atmosphere. This year, not only will they be serving authentic Erdinger beer to satisfy your thirst, but will also be presenting it in a truly unique and historic way. Picture this: a brewer’s dray—not just for barrels, but transformed into a bar to serve the beer! You’ll have to see it to believe it.

On Saturday, they will be hosting a special themed day specifically for British guests, adding a distinctive twist to the festivities. Don’t miss out on this Bavarian-style celebration—bring your friends and family for two days of fun at the Mallorca Country Club. Mark your calendars!

Santa Ponsa gears up for a revamped Oktoberfest

Experience the vibrant spirit of southern Germany right here in Mallorca with the inaugural Oktoberfest in Santa Ponsa-Son Bugadelles.

From October 18 to 27, immerse yourself in ten days of festive fun at the site traditionally used for the German Christmas market. *Please note that the craft fair will be on hold this year due to the Oktoberfest celebration.*

The festival will run daily from 11am to 11pm. Organising the event is Holger Becker, who has also managed the Son Bugadelles Christmas market for years. Culinary delights will be provided by Werner Wiedemann, the owner of Rancho La Romana in Paguera. Attendees can look forward to savouring traditional Bavarian fare including knuckles, chicken, and meat pies, complemented by live performances from a German brass band to bring an authentic Bavarian atmosphere.

Munich’s famous Hofbräu beer will be on tap, and musicians will be flown in specifically for the festival.
