The spirit of Munich will be arriving in Williamstown next month, with Oktoberwest returning after a two-year hiatus.
Seaworks will welcome more than 4000 people in raising a stein and enjoying a range of music and other entertainment on Saturday, October 1.
Festival director Craig Turton said this year’s festival will be “bigger and better” than ever before.
“This year, we are kicking off from 12pm, giving everyone plenty of time to get into your German best to experience the incredible music, live performances and plentiful food and drinks,” he said.
“It’s the perfect day for all ages with more rides and entertainment than you can poke a pretzel at.”
On top of traditional German-style bands, the festival will also feature Sydney-based bands Furnace and the Fundamentals and 19-Twenty.
Children ticket discounts are on offer, with free tickets for children under 10, while general admission tickets are currently available for $45.
