PROST! Your comprehensive guide to Oktoberfest in Sydney if Munich was a CBF this year

Yes, it’s that month again where drinking steins of beer by the litre and saying ‘Prost!’ instead of cheers becomes socially acceptable again.

All set? Here are the best Oktoberfest events happening in Sydney this season.

• WHERE: The Domain
• HOW MUCH: Bonus Release tickets are $89

Oktoberfest at Hay St Market

Hay St Market is going full Bavarian this weekend, transforming into a mini Munich for three days of steins, schnitzels and questionable lederhosen. Expect sizzling bratwurst, crispy pork knuckle, pretzels the size of your head and enough apple strudel to fuel a small village. It’s family-friendly, but honestly, the beer helps.

• WHEN: Friday 17 to Sunday 19 October
• WHERE: Hay St Market, Paddy’s Markets Haymarket
• HOW MUCH: Free to enter

Oktoberfest at The Sackville

Rozelle’s favourite local is turning its car park into a full-blown Bavarian bier hall for one glorious, boozy day this Saturday. Expect steins of 4 Pines Festbier, bratwurst loaded with sauerkraut, salted pretzels the size of your head, and enough schnapps to make you yodel. Live entertainment kicks off from 11am, so dust off the lederhosen and settle in.

Oktoberfest Street Party at Munich Brauhaus

The Rocks is going full Bavaria for one massive day of beer, bratwurst and yodelling chaos this Saturday. Munich Brauhaus is shutting down the street for steins, live bands, keg tappings, stein-holding comps and enough oompah music to haunt your dreams. Your $25 ticket gets you a Munich Lager, a pretzel and an Oktoberfest hat, which honestly feels like good value if you ask me.
