Prost!

That time of the year has come once again and we are gearing up for a celebration like no other in Dubai – Oktoberfest is back. If you fancy a few pints then this is the perfect time for you to get involved. Oktoberfest was originally a celebration of a royal wedding and has since become a carnival and celebration of all things Bavarian.

4 places to celebrate Oktoberfest in Dubai.

Barasti

The world’s most loved Bavarian beer festival is coming to one of Dubai’s most loved beach clubs. Name a better duo than Barasti and Oktoberfest, we’ll wait. Taking place until Sunday, October 6. Think pretzels, strudels and bratwurst all washed down with beer towers, steins and more.

Barasti Beach, Le Meridien Mina A’Salam, Sat Sept 21 to Sun Oct 6. @barastibeach
