Oktoberfest 2025

Three weekends. Three locations. One epic Oktoberfest.

It’s time to dust off your dirndls and lace up those lederhosen—Hemingway’s Oktoberfest is back and bigger than ever, pouring across three unique venues this October. From waterfront vibes to cosy community feels, join us for the ultimate celebration of beer, bratwurst, and Bavarian good times.

Tropical Edition – Port Douglas

LOCATION: Crystalbrook Marina, Port Douglas
DATES: 18th & 19th October

We’re turning up the island vibes for our Tropical Edition. Think sun, steins, palm trees and polka beats. Live music, German-style platters, tropical brews, and classic Oktoberfest antics right on the Port Douglas waterfront.

  • Saturday 18th from 12pm - The Main Event: Live music, festival beers, Bavarian menu, Oktoberfest games & best dressed competition with great prizes. Grab your dirndl & lederhosen, add a tropical twist and get ready for some fun Oktoberfest vibes on the marina.
