Yarra Valley Oktoberfest

Get your dirndl and lederhosen sorted; the Yarra Valley Oktoberfest is coming to Lilydale in October 2023!

With a massive beer hall and garden, food trucks, German entertainment, DJs and, of course, beer, the festival is a must for locals and Melbournites alike.

Lilydale is some 16,000 kilometres from Munich, but this October, the Yarra Valley will host a one-day festival inspired by the famed Munich Oktoberfest.

There will be a huge lineup of beers, some imported from Munich plus local Yarra Valley favourites, classic German-style eats plus best-dressed, pretzel eating and stein-holding competitions.

Please note the following:

• Drunk and disorderly behaviour is not tolerated, and persons will be asked to leave. Have fun respectfully.
• Strictly 18+ event. Sorry no kids or babies
• Last drinks at 6:30pm

This is an 18+ years only event, and an ID will need to be produced which matches your ticket. BYO is not permitted into the event, but get there early to secure your table, as there are un-reserved tables available that will fill up quickly. Tickets are not available at the door and must be pre-purchased.

Those intending to make the most of the event, leave your car home. Lilydale train station is only 700 metres away from the event location.
