Oktoberfest Vietnam 2019 - the city’s most exciting annual German beer festival - returns for its 15th year at Windsor Plaza Hotel. Oktoberfest Vietnam is a celebration of authentic German food, beer, and fun, but also encompasses the flavors of its Southeast Asian home. Festivities kick off each night at 6pm and run until midnight from 2 through 5 October and continuing 9 to 12 October.
This annual event recreates the atmosphere found in the massive beer halls of the original Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, complete with an expansive buffet of savory German cuisine including sausages, schnitzel, crispy pork knuckles, sauerbraten, pretzels, sauerkraut and much more.
