A German folk music band, The Happy Bavarians, is coming to Hanoi to perform at the American Club’s Oktoberfest party September 24 and 25.
The band that hails from Munich in Germany will play at the club at 19-21 Hai Ba Trung Street, Hanoi to celebrate this year’s Oktoberfest, which is having its 200 year anniversary in Germany.
The Happy Bavarians, who dress in traditional Bavarian lederhosen, tunics and hats and play traditional tunes, will bring an authentic German flavor to the festival that is popular round the world.
The beer-fest will also be a celebration of 1000 years of Thang Long – Hanoi and the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Germany.
Guests can expect German festive flavors including Bitburger Premium Beer – the No.1 selling draught beer in Germany and other Oktoberfest traditional food such as Pretzel cake, grilled veal sausage, salted cabbage, potato salad and more. There will also be beer-drinking games and souvenirs. A Philippino band and French DJ will also play.
Kinh Bac Investment and Trading (KBT), the strategic partner of Bitburger Braugruppe GmbH – the second largest brewery group in Germany and the owner of Bitburger Brand – No.1 selling draught beer in Germany – are the main organizers of Oktoberfest Hanoi 2010, whose patron is the German embassy in Vietnam.
Co-organizer Vietnam Airlines has helped organize the event by bringing The Happy Bavarians to Hanoi while Hanoi’s Mövenpick Hotel, a member of the luxury Swiss hotel chain, has provided its best Western-cuisine chefs to cook for the festival.
Tickets are priced at VND100,000 per person, inclusive of a can of Bitburger beer.
