German Club Manila’s Oktoberfest Returns to Solaire for Three Nights in October
Last Updated on September 23, 2026 by Over Here Toronto
German Club Manila is bringing its annual Oktoberfest back to Solaire Resort Entertainment City from October 8 to 10, 2026. The three-night event will take over the Solaire Grand Ballroom in Parañaque with German food, free-flow Hofbräu München beer, live music, games, and raffle draws.
Doors open at 6 p.m. each night, while the Bavarian Sound Express begins its main live set at 8 p.m. The event is strictly for guests age 18 and above.
This year marks the 86th German Club Oktoberfest. German Club Manila says more than 6,000 guests are expected across the three nights.
The group describes the return in simple terms on its official event site:
“In 2026, we return for three nights,” German Club Manila said.
Tickets are now in the regular-sale period, with prices starting at ₱5,100 for October 8 and ₱5,600 for October 9 and 10. Prices depend on the date and seating area.
What Happens at Oktoberfest Manila 2026
The Solaire Grand Ballroom will use long shared tables similar to those found at German beer festivals.
Guests can eat German dishes throughout the night and drink Hofbräu München beer included with their tickets. The event also includes a ceramic Oktoberfest mug that guests can take home.
Food on this year’s menu includes:
- Bavarian pretzels
- German cold cuts and cheeses
- Frankfurter sausages
- Weisswurst
- Schnitzel
- Roast meats
- Apfelstrudel
- Black Forest cake
Solaire Vice President for Food & Beverage and Culinary Sebastian Kellerhoff leads the food program. Current event material says the menu draws from Bavarian dishes served during Munich’s Oktoberfest season.
The beer comes from Hofbräu München, a brewery based in Munich. German Club Manila’s current event site says Hofbräu will serve as the beer for all three nights.
Guests can find current event details on the official German Club Manila Oktoberfest website.
Bavarian Sound Express Returns to Manila
Music will remain a major part of the program.
The Bavarian Sound Express, an 11-member band from Germany led by Klaus Weih, will perform on all three nights. The group starts its main set at 8 p.m.
Its set includes German folk songs, marches, polka music, and party tracks linked to Oktoberfest.
The program also includes the Fliegerlied, a German party song with simple dance moves. It has become part of German Club Manila’s yearly celebration.
Guests can also expect the traditional tapping of the first beer keg. The event follows the Munich custom of opening the barrel before the main drinking and dancing starts.
Raffle draws will take place during the nights. German Club Manila says prizes include hotel stays, dining offers, home items, and German food packages.
