Gardaland Oktoberfest 2024: Bavarian Atmosphere and Beer Specialties in Italy

Gardaland transforms into an Oktoberfest paradise: From September 14 to 29, 2024, the popular amusement park by Lake Garda will turn into a Bavarian-inspired festival landscape. The annual Gardaland Oktoberfest offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the world-famous Munich festival right here in Italy. Guests can look forward to traditional Bavarian decorations, delicious dishes, and a selection of exquisite beers that will delight Oktoberfest enthusiasts.

Bavarian decorations and a festive atmosphere

During Gardaland Oktoberfest, the park is adorned with traditional Bavarian symbols, bringing the spirit of Bavaria to Italy. Giant beer steins, massive pretzels, hay bales, and festively decorated tables line the park's main plazas. The heart of the celebration is Piazza Jumanji, where rustic seating made of straw bales and barrels immerses visitors in the charm of Bavarian culture.

Exclusive Heineken Beer and Other Special Brews

At the center of the beer selection is the “Heineken Original – Holland,” specially brewed for Gardaland. With its finely malted taste and fruity aroma, it perfectly complements the festive atmosphere. But fans of other beers won’t be disappointed: the “Beer Experience” offers three additional beer options. “Birra Messina Vivace” is served at Piazza Hacienda, while “Ichnusa Ambra Limpida” can be found at Piazza Merlin Stube, and “Schmucker Export” is available at Piazza Mammut. Each carefully selected beer enhances the culinary experience of the event.

Culinary Highlights: The “Beer & Food Experience”

Visitors to Gardaland Oktoberfest can indulge in various delicious foods specially created for the event. From the classic “Alpen Smash,” a hearty double-smashed burger with Bavarian mustard and smoked cheese, to rustic dishes like pork knuckle and Porchetta, there's something to satisfy every taste. Traditional Bavarian specialties such as Spätzle, pretzels, and savory sausage platters round out the menu. For dessert lovers, the unique “Birramisù” – a beer-infused take on the beloved Italian Tiramisù – is available.

Bavarian-Style Shows and Entertainment

In addition to culinary and beer delights, the entertainment program is steeped in Bavarian culture. On Piazza Jumanji, dance troupes and a professional yodeler will keep the festive spirit high. Accompanied by traditional folk music, guests can enjoy their meals in an atmosphere that transports them to the Bavarian Alps.

Gardaland Oktoberfest offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the relaxed and joyful spirit of Munich's Oktoberfest without leaving Italy.
