The Gardaland Oktoberfest opened its doors on September 14, kicking off an event that promises to attract numerous visitors until September 29. Inspired by the famous festival in Munich, this autumn event transforms the park into a place filled with aromas, flavors, and thematic decorations, offering a truly immersive experience for all ages.
Festive Atmosphere and Entertainment
At the entrance of the park, guests are welcomed by a new Welcome Show that celebrates the traditional beer tapping ceremony. A gigantic barrel stands above the gates, and at the end of a countdown, a cascade of confetti rains down on the audience along with beer. This show marks the beginning of a day filled with fun and camaraderie.
Throughout the event, visitors can enjoy the typical Oktoberfest atmosphere with the Kapuziner Bier Band entertaining the crowd while over 40 attractions are available for thrill-seekers. The culinary selection includes traditional German dishes accompanied by local beers, including the “Heineken Original – Holland,” specially created for Gardaland.
Tasting Routes and Selected Beers
The event is not only visual but also sensory: the park’s avenues offer tasting routes where guests can savor dishes prepared by the Resort’s chefs. Among the beers available are:
- Birra Messina Vivace: light and refreshing.
- Ichnusa Ambra Limpida: with herbal notes and an alcohol content of 5%.
- Schmucker Export: a soft-tasting lager, ideal for meat dishes.
These options make the gastronomic experience even richer and more varied.

The culinary offerings range from burritos and sausages to traditional desserts like birramisù, available at the Prezzemolo workshop in the Saloon. Guests can fully immerse themselves in Bavarian culture through food and entertainment.
