As they gear up for the fifth annual Oktoberfest, TwoTribes, the team behind the hugely popular Oktoberfest Newcastle is ready to deliver an unforgettable experience filled with beer, entertainment, and authentic Bavarian culture from October 13th to October 28th, 2023.
Oktoberfest Newcastle promises an unparalleled Bavarian-themed party, with a tent that can accommodate thousands of revellers every weekend. The venue will be transformed into a traditional German marquee adorned with blue and white checkered tablecloths, where you can enjoy the best oompah bands from across Europe, authentic German beers, and delectable Bavarian cuisine.
In the true spirit of Bavarian tradition, the event is introducing some epic challenges to break the ultimate Oktoberfest records! Guests can participate in a Sausage-Eating competition where participants will aim to devour as many sausages as possible as quickly as they can. World Champion Joey Chestnut holds the title of ‘hot dog-eating world champion’ after setting a new world record of 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes in 2021.
As guests immerse themselves in the spirit of the German festivities, they'll also have the chance to witness or participate in Oktoberfest Newcastle's exhilarating Jug-Carrying competition. The goal is to break the current record for carrying the most Steins over a 40-meter distance, which currently stands at a staggering 29 jugs. Are you ready to take on this year's challenge and become the next Oktoberfest champion?
Mike Hesketh from Two Tribes Organisation tells us "We're thrilled to unveil the incredible line-up of entertainment and amazing food vendors for Oktoberfest Newcastle 2023. It's going to be an even bigger and more unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to see our guests enjoy every moment.
