Koblenz Oktoberfest
12th Koblenz Oktoberfest — five weeks of Wiesn atmosphere at the exhibition center every Friday and Saturday
About Koblenz Oktoberfest
The Koblenz Oktoberfest is a commercial Oktoberfest event that has been successfully held at the Koblenz exhibition center for over a decade. Unlike the traditional Palatinate Kerwen (church festivals), the Koblenz Oktoberfest is clearly modeled after the Munich Wiesn: a large, decorated festival tent with beer benches, blue and white ribbons, hop garlands, and a central stage.
Concept
The festival tent opens for five weekends — every Friday and every Saturday from mid-September to mid-October. Admission begins at 5 PM, and the main event lasts until late at night. Themed evenings, such as 'Mallorca Night', 'Cologne Night', or 'Ballermann Party', are a regular feature and attract a young audience.
Cuisine
The menu is classic Bavarian: Schweinshax'n (pork knuckles), Hendl (half chickens), pretzels, Obatzda (cheese spread), Weißwurst (white sausages), currywurst, and fries. Drinks are served in Maßkrugs (liter steins) — Benediktiner Hell is the house brand. Radler (shandy), apple spritzer, and non-alcoholic alternatives are also available.
Location and Travel
The Koblenz exhibition center is located in the Wallersheim district, accessible by bus from Koblenz Main Station (line 5 and others). By car, the grounds can be reached via the A 61 motorway (exit Koblenz-Nord). Ample parking is available at the exhibition center.
