Your Oktoberfest menu is set, the steins are in
The keg is tapped “O’zapft is” and the guests are all dressed ready to celebrate all things Bavarian
Now it’s time for the finishing touches…
- An extra large table or trestle is what’s best to deck your place out like a traditional Beer Hall
- Decorate with Bavarian flags, throw around plenty of drop sheets and table covers in blue and white
- Drape checkered or blue and white fabric from the ceiling to create an authentic hall feel
- Create an edible table runner out of pretzels
- Use plastic beer pitchers, beer mugs and place mats
- Personalise mini beer mugs as place settings – guests will be thrilled to take them home!
Did you know… on the hour every hour within the six main beer halls at Oktoberfest the bells ring, the entire crowd stops what they’re doing to stand, sing and toast the tradition that is Beerfest? So move the chairs aside and find some benches – it makes it quicker to get up and PROST!
You might even to source your own Oompah Band? Afterall, we are lucky enough to live in such a multicultural country that there is bound to be the odd brass musician around.
Please share any Oktoberfest traditions you’ve experienced in your travels
