OKTOBERFEST
Cairns loves to raise a stein to celebrate the 1810
wedding of the Bavarian Crown Prince and his
princess bride. And why not? There’s bratwurst
and pretzels, not to mention the schnapps,
schnitzels, and of course, the beer. Plus, you can
work it all off with folk dancing and games.
So dust off your lederhosen or don your
dirndl because Tropic has your ultimate
Oktoberfest guide. Prost!

German Club
The mainstay of Far North Queensland’s Bavarian
social scene, the Cairns German Club, is celebrating
its 50th birthday this year, so you can expect their
Oktoberfest celebrations – which are always rollicking
fun – to be extra special. A huge range of imported
beer, wine and schnapps is just the beginning. You’ll
also have a choice of wursts (sausages) and schnitties,
plus pretzels and sauerkraut. Dance around the May
pole, boogie to the chicken dance and slap your knees
to the beat of the oompah band.

When: Saturday Oct 9
