A three-day feast with world-famous beers, pretzels, bratwurst, lebkuchenherzen, schnitzel, spaetzle, and indulgent desserts awaits at Oktoberfest Manila 2024.
Oktoberfest began as a royal wedding celebration in 1810. Prince Ludwig, later King Ludwig I, married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. This event has evolved into one of the world’s grandest celebrations. Now, this fun-filled Bavarian tradition returns to the Philippines. Newport World Resorts brings back the festive Bavarian culture for this year’s Oktoberfest.
From October 24 to 26, the Ballroom at Hilton Manila transforms into a traditional Bavarian beer hall. This event sets the stage for one of the year’s most anticipated celebrations. Enjoy endless beer, lively music, and the tastiest German food. It’s a full Oktoberfest experience right in the heart of Manila.
Whether you’re a beer lover, a foodie, or just looking for a good time with friends, this event has everything you need for a weekend packed with fun, food, and festive vibes.
Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Oktoberfest 2024 in Manila
This year, Newport World Resorts pulls out all the stops for a truly unforgettable Oktoberfest. More than a thousand festival-goers will join the three-day celebration to enjoy authentic Bavarian food, live entertainment, and of course—plenty of beer!
As David Jorden, Newport World Resorts’ Chief Marketing Officer, puts it: “At Newport World Resorts, we take pride in creating experiences that are as authentic as they are enjoyable. This year’s Oktoberfest is no exception. We have gone all out to bring you the very best of Oktoberfest.”
Newport World Resorts places beer at the heart of the celebration. They serve brews from Weihenstephan Brewery, one of the world’s oldest breweries, crafting beer since 1040. You can taste a variety of Bavarian classics.
Try the Weihenstephaner Original Helles, a light and crisp beer with a hint of spice. The Hefeweissbier is the crown jewel, known for its smooth and satisfying taste. For those who prefer something darker, the Hefeweissbier Dunkel offers rich flavors and a sweet aroma. You’ll want a second (or third) round!
Festive Atmosphere and Entertainment
Of course, what’s beer without some delectable food to go with it, right? Newport World Resorts’ chefs are dishing up a Bavarian feast like no other. Get ready to enjoy platters of freshly baked pretzels, German rye bread, bratwurst, frankfurters, and tangy sauerkraut.
For the more adventurous eaters, there’s crispy pork knuckle, chicken schnitzel, and cheese-topped spaetzle. And this year, they’re adding a sweet touch with lebkuchenherzen—heart-shaped gingerbread cookies, where you can get your own personalized message iced on for free. How cute is that?
To satisfy your sweet tooth, there will also be Bavarian desserts like baked apple tart and Kaiserschmarrn. But the fun doesn’t stop at the food. The Ballroom will be decked out with long benches, checkered tablecloths, and festive decorations, making you feel like you’ve been whisked away to Munich.
The AnTon Showband from Austria will keep the party going with live performances, while the service ambassadors will rock traditional German outfits, lederhosen for the guys and dirndls for the gals.
Want in? Tickets are priced at PHP5,400 per person or PHP4,900 per person for groups of 20 or more. And if you want to make a weekend out of it, Newport World Resorts is also offering exclusive accommodation packages at Hilton Manila and Holiday Inn Express, starting at PHP4,000 net per room, including breakfast for two. So, what are you waiting for?
Grab your tickets, bring your friends, and get ready for a weekend of beer, bites, and Bavarian fun like no other. Prost!
