The beachfront of MLH will be decked with countless stalls, games and entertainment for the whole family. What’s more, there will be menus comprising of a plethora of authentic Bavarian delights prepared by MLH’s very own German Master Chef Micheal Goeggerle.

While last year’s Oktoberfest was an absolute blast, this year will be even better with music by the Bavarian Power Band, a traditional German band, which will amp up the celebration with great tunes.

They will play traditional Oktoberfest sing-a-long favourites as well as popular English dance hits, creating an exciting party atmosphere. Several popular local bands will also perform to add more variety to the entertainment.
