A Bavarian Tradition Comes to Bengaluru!

Oktoberfest is a world-renowned festival originating in Munich, Germany. It began in 1810 as a celebration of the royal wedding between Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. The festivities concluded with a horse race held in an open field called Theresienwiese (Theresa's Field). This field continues to be the heart of Oktoberfest celebrations today.

Over time, the event evolved into a two-week long extravaganza filled with beer, food, music, and amusement rides. It's a joyous occasion where people gather to celebrate Bavarian culture, community spirit, and the arrival of autumn. The iconic image of Oktoberfest is often associated with people dressed in traditional Bavarian clothing like lederhosen (leather breeches) for men and dirndls (colourful dresses) for women.

The Indo German Cultural Society (IGCS) is delighted to invite you to be a part of the Bangalore Oktoberfest 2024. Since 1960, the IGCS has been a bridge between India and Germany, fostering friendship and cultural exchange through a variety of events.



Barring the Covid years, the IGCS has been organising the Oktoberfest in Bangalore for 20 years now and this year will be the 21st edition, which will be very special. The event has been generously supported by several German subsidiaries in Bangalore and the German Consulate here, not to mention several Bangaloreans who have been over the years regular to revel in the MUSIC, DANCE, COLOURS dressed in DIRNDL & LEDERHOSE. The IGCS creates a near perfect OKTOBERFEST ambience with traditional Bavarian Benches and serves shades of Munich Beer brewed specially by United Breweries, Bangalore.

This ticketed event also includes gourmet southern German cuisine viz., Brezel, Sauerkraut, Sausages and more Bavarian varieties of Bread & Desert.

The true spirit of the authentic OKTOBERFEST, as rejoiced, revelled and relished for over fifteen days, twelve hours a day in Germany is captured tastefully and brought to you over one lovely evening thanks to the 20 member music band 'The Reisbacher Musikanten'who fly down exclusively to perform here.
