The official Camden Oktoberfest is back at Electric Ballroom for its seventh year across five consecutive Saturdays of endless Bavarian beer and mouthwatering food-filled fun. Running 2 pm to 9 pm on Saturdays September 30th, October 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, this cultured mix of the modern and the traditional also offers live music from No Limit Street Band as well as party games and big prizes.
Forget what you think you know about beer festivals because Oktoberfest does things its own way: it blends the best traditions with a new school London twist producing a wholly unique and modern experience that blends food, drink and musical fun into an unforgettable day into night party. The venue once more is Electric Ballroom, one of Camden’s leading music venues, fully transformed with traditional beer tables, themed decor and Oktoberfest bunting. It’s all brought to life with plenty of people opting for fancy dress and servers who are dressed to impress in authentic Dirndl and Lederhosen.
They will keep your steins frothing to the brim with beer from all across Germany and beyond. From light and refreshing to more weighty and mature, the ales are supplied by quality brewers such as Spaten, Löwenbräu and Becks. As you drink, you’re free to chow down on a wide range of delicious sausages such as authentic German Bratwursts, grilled Black Forest sausages, Currywursts and much more.
Later in the day, Oktoberfest turns into a rowdy party with Bongo Bingo’s Matty Powers the host who turns up the heat and unleashes all sorts of loveable chaos. There’s an always fun vibe with plenty of games and prize giveaways, dance-offs and wild challenges, all soundtracked by the legendary eight-piece No Limit Street Band. This acclaimed collective is made up of talented street musicians offering live and vibrant brass renditions of pop hits, indie classics, funk and soul gems, hip hop and dance anthems to get the good times flowing as freely as the beers, especially when tables are removed to make even more room for dancing in the hall.
Basic tickets are just £20 while beer tables for eight are £280 and a VIP Balcony Booth for up to eight people (including two pints per person) is £400.
