Along with plenty of genuine Bavarian beer, German food and wine specialities, and live music by an authentic German band -- the event is guaranteed to provide non-stop fun for all.

The sound of oompah and the aroma of sizzling German bratwurst heralds Oktoberfest at Mandarin Oriental, Macau. This year’s celebration is sure to be a rollicking good time and will include a 25-metre-long Munich beer tent with room for 400 people. Erected on the hotel grounds over long wooden tables and benches to create an authentic Oktoberfest atmosphere, the site will feature Bavarian decoration as well as a beer garden. Throughout the ten-day celebration events will run from 5.00 p.m. until 12 midnight.

A Bavarian outdoor barbecue located at the resort will offer a variety of char-broiled German sausages including Thueringer roast sausage and Munich white sausage, homemade pretzels and sweet mustard, fire-roasted spicy chicken with potato salad, and cured pig’s knuckle with sauerkraut. Beverage highlights include a special Paulaner Oktoberfest brew served in a one-litre mug.

Further enlivening each evening will be entertainment by a six-piece German band flown in direct from Munich. The whole tent will be encouraged to sing along while toasting and dancing.

The celebration of Oktoberfest traces back to 1810 when Crown Prince Ludwig, who later became King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810. All citizens of Munich were invited to attend festivities held on fields before the city gates and to celebrate the royal wedding. From this has evolved a cheerful gathering of revellers who each year in Munich comprise the largest public festival in the world, attended by approximately six million visitors.
