Date, activities, reservations and how to get there
The oktoberfest, the beer festival originally from Germany, returns to Barcelona for its ninth edition in style. It began this Wednesday, October 5, and will last until October 16. He does it with a large tent of more than 6,500 square meters decorated and set for the occasion, with live music from groups and DJs and lots of German cuisine.
Located in the Plaza Univers of the Fira Barcelona Montjuïc, near Plaza Espanya, the Oktoberfest is celebrated for 11 days with three distinctive activities. The opening ceremony took place on the first day, Wednesday, October 5. A barrel of beer was opened at 6:30 p.m., a ritual that begins the celebration with the traditional cry “O ‘zapftis!” (it is already open, in Spanish). Since then, the beer is flowing.
