There’s no excuse to miss this year’s Oktoberfest, especially the month-long celebration at Cosford Container Park. From October 1 to 31, get ready for weekends full of eating, drinking, and merry-making with traditional Oktoberfest-inspired games, fantastic prizes included. There’s the Masskrugstemmen challenge, where you’ll have to outlast other contestants in holding up a stein – don’t be fooled by the challenge’s simplicity, a stein can weigh up to a hefty 2.25kg when full, so only the worthy should step up. There’s also everyone’s favourite beer pong tournament or the Brezel Werfen, also known as pretzel tossing, to put your aiming skills to the test.
After the games, fuel up with Eastern Golden Grill’s hearty sausage platter stacked with four types of juicy grilled sausages. Be sure to save room for its take on the popular currywurst with fries and warm pretzels served with tangy honey mustard dip. Still hungry? Pop over to Singapore Blue Lobster for some grilled bratwurst topped with sour red cabbage on a homemade bun or a good ol’ crispy pork schnitzel with a side of beer mayo and golden fries. And it's not Oktoberfest without icy beers on tap. Enjoy daily beer promotions throughout the month – take your pick between a one-liter stein of Erdinger Weisse or Erdinger Dunkel for $25, or go all out with a three-stein bundle deal for $70. Plus, enjoy live music performances every Wednesday to Sunday in the evenings for the complete Oktoberfest experience.
On October 19 and 20, you can also look forward to a special Oktoberfest edition of Cosford Container Park’s monthly Weekend Market. Expect fun activities like a German folk dance workshop, origami Bavarian hat-making, and a special cocktail masterclass. Little ones can join the fun too with mini carnival games, free crafts, and face-painting sessions. Before you go, don’t forget to pick up some locally-made goods at the marketplace.
