Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse will host the Yokohama Oktoberfest 2024 from Friday, September 27, to Monday, October 14, 2024, for a total of 18 days at the event plaza.
This event, which has been held since 2003, brings the atmosphere of the original Oktoberfest in Munich to Yokohama, making it one of the city’s most beloved autumn traditions. This year, we will offer more than 100 types of beers, including exclusive Japan-debut brews, limited-edition beers, and classic German and local craft beers. Visitors can also enjoy live performances by traditional German bands and indulge in gourmet food.
For non-beer drinkers, we have set up a special drink zone offering alternatives like lemon sours, mocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails), and rum cocktails. Additionally, for the first time, reserved seating is available for a limited number of guests. Choose between the lively Stage Front Area and the more relaxed Panorama View Area, depending on your preferred atmosphere.
Back by popular demand, the **Hofbräu** booth returns for a second year, offering the traditional German beer loved by royalty. Guests can enjoy all-you-can-drink plans and reserved seating in two distinct areas: a weatherproof tent area and an open-air wood deck area where you can feel the sea breeze. Both table and counter seating options are available, making it ideal for groups, couples, or individuals.
This year, we are also introducing the **Yokohama DeNA BayStars Day**, a collaboration with Yokohama’s local professional baseball team. On October 10, fans wearing BayStars merchandise can enter the event for free. In addition, Yokohama citizens can enjoy free admission on **Yokohama Citizen’s Day** on October 1.
