Cheers and Beers

THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE AIR this month. Can you hear the sound of beer steins clinking and the smell of Bavarian feasts? Well, we can tell you where to find it… 

Dust off the dirndl and loosen up the lederhosen for the 2019 Oktoberfest!

If the budget doesn’t quite stretch to a return trip to Germany, Mindil Beach Casino willkommen you through the doors of The Beachside Pavilion as it transforms into a Bavarian beer hall complete with 26-piece Oompah band, Tanunda Town Band.

Tantalise those tastebuds with traditional German fare including bratwurst, weisswurst, nürnberger, sauerkraut and apfelstrude, and plenty of beer, cider and wine to wash it all down.

If you’ve got a competitive streak, there’s plenty to get involved with for a crack at some great prizes. Don your best German-themed threads for a chance to be crowned Mr or Miss Oktoberfest – that’s some mega bragging rights, right there. Once again, the ever-popular stein holding competition will test the strength of beer lovers, and new this year is the ‘braid-a-maid’ challenge. 

So round up the crew and raise a stein to the good times, beachside.

Prost!

FRI 11 OCT, 5PM & SAT 12 OCT, 12.30PM | MINDIL BEACH CASINO RESORT
