Saarland Oktoberfest
Bavarian Oktoberfest atmosphere in the Saarland - dirndl, lederhosen, steins and live music in a 3,500-seat tent.
The Saarland Oktoberfest brings Bavarian Wiesn atmosphere to the southwest. For around 17 days in early October, a festival tent seating some 3,500 guests goes up at the Saarmesse grounds in Saarbrücken.
Expect dirndl and lederhosen, liter steins, roast chicken and pretzels, and live party bands each evening. Tables for the popular weekend slots should be reserved well in advance.
