Oktoberfest Tauranga 2025

Dust off your lederhosen – Tauranga’s ultimate Oktoberfest is HERE, bigger and beer-ier than ever, proudly brought to you by Alchemy Street Brewing & Seaside Sippers.

🪗 Dress Up… or We’ll Dress You!
No dirndl? No lederhosen? No problem—we’ve got backup outfits that may or may not involve fairy wings, a tutu, and a suspiciously small apron. 😏 Trust us, it's safer (and way sexier) to come dressed for Oktoberfest glory!
**And if you're still feeling bold in your boring clothes… be warned: our MC has a spotlight and zero shame—**you will be dragged on stage for a surprise performance. Think yodelling, chicken dancing, or an impromptu bratwurst serenade. 🎤🌭

Your Host With the Most

Along with the Classic House song - "Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit". You will know it word for word by the end of the night.

Ein Prosit, ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit...
This short toast song is played every 15–20 minutes at Oktoberfest in Munich to encourage everyone to raise their steins and drink together. It's the most iconic and traditional Oktoberfest tune.
