Oktoberfest to shine in Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest, the largest cultural event of German-speaking communities across Southeast Asia, is due to take place in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam in October.

The occasion is expected to attract more than 4,500 people to the capital and approximately 15,000 tourists to the southern hub.

It will revive the authentic atmosphere of the original Munich festival in Viet Nam, connecting the two peoples and cultures.

Ho Chi Minh City will run the event at the Windsor Plaza Hotel from October 8-10 and from October 14-17, while Ha Noi will mount it at the JW Marriott Hotel from October 22-24.

Oktoberfest is organised annually by the German Business Association (GBA) under the sponsorship of the Germany Embassy in Ha Noi and German Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City.
