When it comes to amazing food, you can’t go past good old-fashioned German fare, and that’s what you get at Oktoberfest Brisbane which is being held from 11-13 and 18-20 October at the RNA Showgrounds.
On the back of performing live at Munich’s Oktoberfest, the genuine Bavarian Oktoberfest Band will be flown directly to Oktoberfest Brisbane to entertain the crowd, who like me will also fall-in-love with the traditional German food, desserts, folk gift- stalls plus German products and services including the popular German Connections Tent.
Below is what’s on offer – it’s all authentic and you could be forgiven for thinking you are dining on bratwurst in Bavaria – It’s a foodies fantasy.
