About Oktoberfest Rostock

When it's called »O'zapft is«, the Rostocker Oktoberfest brings the Bavarian Wiesn to the Baltic Sea. In a large festival tent on the Haedge peninsula in the city harbor, guests celebrate with Maßkrug (liter beer mugs), Brezn (pretzels), and brass band music — against the maritime backdrop of shipyards and the Warnow river. Folk classics, Oberkrainer sound, lively polkas and waltzes alternate with party hits and current chart successes. Traditional costumes are available for rent if needed, and tables can be reserved for groups. A traditional event for all who want to combine Bavarian coziness with Hanseatic flair.

Oktoberfest on the Baltic Sea

The Rostocker Oktoberfest brings Bavarian Wiesn feeling to the Baltic Sea, far north of Munich. The venue is a large festival tent on the Haedge peninsula in Rostock's city harbor — a location where the traditional Wiesn spirit blends with the maritime identity of the Hanseatic city. Shipyard cranes, the Warnow riverbanks, and brass band music: this combination is unique to Rostock.

Festival Tent Program

Bands ensure the right atmosphere in the festival tent. A wide repertoire is played: classic folk music, traditional Oberkrainer sound, lively polkas and waltzes for swaying along, plus party hits and current and well-known chart successes. The tent fills up as soon as the band starts playing — everything from cozy to exuberant is on offer.

Traditional Costumes, Tables, and Tradition

Those who want to celebrate in appropriate attire can rent traditional costumes. Tables can be reserved for groups and company parties — making a visit to the festival tent also suitable for company outings or club nights. The Rostocker Oktoberfest is an event for ages 18 and over.

More Than a Festival Day

The festival tent is not only available on the actual Oktoberfest days: on the days in between, it can be rented for conferences, company events, or private parties — proof of how firmly the event has established itself in Rostock's autumn calendar.
