Get Ready For A Beer-tiful Oktoberfest At Airlie Beach Hotel

Gather your mates and dust off your lederhosen for an action-packed weekend of delicious beers, authentic German delights, traditional Oktoberfest games. There will also be a special performance from Oompah Loompah and loads of competitions – so be sure to dress to impress!

Continuing with the fun on Saturday, the Airlie Beach Hotel spins off into a Spanish fiesta with a Mexican-themed Tequila Chaser that's sure to pack a punch. Oktober-fiesta will feature the Mad Mariachi Band who will be performing Saturday night and Sunday afternoon to help you get your Margarita on. The festivities also feature Mexican food specials, FREE Sombreros alongside Moustaches, Tequila Toasts and Margs for everyone.
In the spirit of Oktoberfest, the Airlie Beach Hotel is thrilled to host a Stein Holding competition at 3pm and a Pretzel Eating contest at 4pm on Saturday, October 5th, in The Sports Bar.
On Sunday, they will hold a Chili Eating competition at 4pm, also in The Sports Bar. All competitions will be hosted by the hilarious Comedian Mad Mike Bennett. Participants can sign up starting at noon—just see the bar staff for details.
Over the weekend there are also some great food specials in theme with the performances. There is a taco food special, where you can enjoy two traditional Mexican slow braised beef tacos with a spicy salsa. If German is more your style, there are two options for you. A German slow braised pork knuckle with beer gravy & creamy mash, or a traditional bratwurst served on a fresh bread roll with sauerkraut, mustard & ketchup and house seasoned fries.
It's promised to be a fantastic German style weekend, who doesn't love beer, bands and bratwurst!
