Discover a new take on a couple of classic German Festival foods when Masterchef’s ‘Spice Queen’ Emily Loo gets together with the German Sausage Hut’s Richy Windt and everyone’s favourite Austrian – K&K’s Wolfgang Kaspar – on the two Sundays of Oktoberfest Brisbane.

That iconic German staple, the sausage, is the first dish to receive the ‘West-meets-East’ treatment  when OktoberfEAST makes its debut on Sunday 12th.

It’s official: National Geographic Traveler has ranked Brisbane’s very own German Festival one of the Top 10 Oktoberfests celebrated around the world!  Our authentic “spread of entertainment” rates highly, underscored by the exacting attention to all the finest details of the event which has been a hallmark of the founding families’ efforts over the years.  Without wanting to blow our own Flugelhorn (that’s the band’s fun job!), here’s 10 good reasons why.
