Get ready to raise a stein as Docktoberfest brings a huge celebration of beer, food, live music and entertainment to Hill Dickinson Stadium. Inspired by Ocktoberfest, the world’s largest folk festival, Munich meets Merseyside as Village Street is transformed into a Bavarian-inspired festival spanning five interconnected venues. With a free-to-roam format, you can choose your own adventure throughout the afternoon and evening - from live brass bands and beer tasting to bratwurst and pretzels, karaoke, pub games, DJs and VIP dining. What to expect At the heart of Docktoberfest, Kendall’s Social will become the main bierhalle, bringing together long-table festival atmosphere, live music and entertainment. Head to The Queen’s Head for a dedicated tasting and sampling experience, while The Prince Rupert will offer karaoke, social games, challenges and interactive photo experiences. For festival food, Dixie’s by Budweiser will be transformed into a Bavarian food hall featuring pretzel carts, bakery favourites and a haven of hot dogs - from Frankfurters to Bratwursts. Connecting the venues will be Main Strasse, a Bavarian-themed thoroughfare packed with entertainment, activations and surprises throughout the day.
