About Edinburgh Oktoberfest

The annual Oktoberfest in Edinburgh promises an unforgettable experience filled with traditional Bavarian delicacies, from pretzels and bratwursts to schnitzels and roasted pork.

Sip on authentic German beers, including a specialty lager brewed in Bavaria, along with cider and fine wines, all within a festively decorated tent adorned in blue and white. With staff donning traditional ‘dirndls’ and ‘lederhosen’, the event captures the true essence of Bavarian culture, making it a highlight of the year for both locals and tourists alike.
