## The 86th Oktoberfest at the Solaire Grand Ballroom

Three Nights of Live Music from a Bavarian Band, original Hofbräu beer from Munich, and German food at the Solaire Grand Ballroom — Manila's largest Oktoberfest, in its 86th year.

Since 2018 the German Club Manila has filled the Grand Ballroom for one Oktoberfest weekend each October. In 2026, we return for three nights — Thursday 8, Friday 9, and Saturday 10 October — with the Bavarian Sound Express, 25,000 litres of Hofbräu, and a free-flow Bavarian table that runs from doors at 6:00 PM through to a late-night dance set.

Whether it's your first Oktoberfest or your fifteenth, Willkommen.

### Bavarian Food & Beer

Traditional Bavarian dishes — schnitzel, sausages, roast pork, and pretzels — designed by Solaire’s VP for F&B, Sebastian Kellerhoff. Poured exclusively with original Hofbräu München Oktoberfestbier.

### Live Stage Raffle Every Night

Raffle draws live on stage between band sets. Three nights of fishbowl drama — island getaways, fine dining, premium home gadgets, and Bavarian gourmet hampers waiting for lucky stub holders.

### Live from Germany

The Bavarian Sound Express — a 12-piece live band led by Klaus Weih — flies in from Germany to play all three nights, from the 8:00 PM keg-tapping through the late-night dance set.

## "O'zapft is!" Tapping of the Barrel

Since 1950, as tradition, the Mayor will tap the first keg and will then shout “O’zapft ist!” meaning “it is tapped!”. This will then signal the start of the non-stop beer drinking and dancing for the Oktoberfest guests.

Popular and folk music, marches and polkas will be played by the band. As the night wears on, the music is louder and more people begin to sing, linking arms and swinging their beer mugs. Some are standing and dancing on benches or even on the tables.

## PROGRAMME A Typical Evening at Oktoberfest

The same backbone runs all three nights. Only the dignitaries and the nightly highlight (welfare segment / Beer Drinking Contest / Football Awarding) change from night to night.

## First time at Oktoberfest?

Oktoberfest began in Munich in 1810 as a royal Bavarian wedding celebration. The Manila edition follows the Munich playbook: live brass-band music, long communal tables, original Hofbräu beer, and traditional Bavarian dress.

When the band strikes up, expect guests to stand on the benches (not the tables — that’s a Munich rule) and raise their mugs with a hearty “Prost!”. No special preparation needed: come hungry, come thirsty, join in.

DRESS CODE

## What to wear

Dress code is smart casual or traditional Bavarian — Dirndl for women, Lederhosen for men. Don’t have either? You’re more than welcome in smart-casual.

If you’d like to pick up traditional Bavarian dress, Solaire is selling Dirndl and Lederhosen at The Shoppes lobby during the event week — a new concept for 2026.
