Oktoberfest at Ho Chi Minh City’s Windsor Plaza Hotel next month will as usual offer a week of music, German beers, and all-you-can-eat food.
Among the well-known German offerings at the festival meant for guzzling beer will be the premium Krombacher beer and Schneider Weisse wheat beer, sausages, meats and carvings, breads, pretzels, and a dozen desserts.
Also as usual, every guest will get a one-liter beer mug as a souvenir and have the chance to win a nightly lucky draw.
Bavarian music group Trenkwalder will return for a third time to perform traditional songs.
Guests can try their hand at traditional German games to test their strength and skills.
Last year the event attracted 10,000 participants who drank 15,000 liters of beer and more than four tons of food.
Tickets to the festival on October 8-10 and 13-16 start at VND600,000 (US$30.7).
Held for the first time in 1810, Oktoberfest attracts some six million international participants to Germany each year.
