Hey beer lovers and festival fans! If you’re visiting Budapest this fall, you’re in for a treat. The city is gearing up for the 10th annual Oktoberfest Budapest celebration from September 27th to October 6th. This is Hungary’s biggest Oktoberfest festival, giving you a taste of the legendary Munich beer festivities right here in the Hungarian capital.
The origins of Oktoberfest date back to 1810 in Munich, when the public was invited to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. It started as a big public party with horse races and agricultural shows. Due to the better weather in September, the festival shifted earlier in the year but kept its name Oktoberfest. Today, it has grown into the world’s largest beer celebration, drawing over 6 million visitors annually from around the globe.
While Budapest can’t quite replicate those massive beer tents that hold thousands in Munich, the organizers do an amazing job capturing the spirit and atmosphere of the original. They bring in special Oktoberfest beers from Munich breweries like Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr, along with classic Bavarian foods like pretzels, sausages, and roasted pork knuckle. German oompah bands provide the lively music to get you singing, clinking mugs, and maybe even dressing up in lederhosen or dirndls!
The festival takes place across three main locations in Budapest – Elizabeth Square in the city center, a beer garden on Margaret Island, and the stunning Savoya Terrace in Buda Castle with breathtaking panoramic views. You can attend for free and the first 600 guests each day will receive a free official 2024 Paulaner Oktoberfest mug or Bavarian festival hat!
On Elizabeth Square, the Fröccsterasz garden gets transformed into a lively biergarten between September 27-29 and October 4-6. Sip on frosty Paulaner drafts as oompah bands like Tarianer Spitzbuam and Lohr Kapelle take the stage on weekends.
The party moves to Margit Island’s Gastro Promenade between September 27-29 and October 4-5, where the Paulaner Beer Garden & Outdoor Cinema hosts more bands like Bőrnadrágos Banda.
But the ultimate Oktoberfest experience may be at the Savoya Terrace between September 27-29, where you can enjoy a beer while soaking in stunning views of the Buda hills and Danube. Bands like Adlersteiner and Werischwarer Burschen keep the authentic Bavarian vibes going.
No matter which venue you visit, you’re in for a rollicking good time full of beer, music, and gemütlichkeit (that’s German for coziness and good cheer!). Prost to experiencing one of the world’s greatest festivals right here in beautiful Budapest! The beer is flowing and the bands are tuning up, so join the festivities at Oktoberfest Budapest.
