There is a moment, just after the band lifts its first note and the whole tent finds the beat at once, when you forget which country you are in. That is the Windhoek Oktoberfest.

Not an imitation. The real Oktoberfest, held under a Namibian sky for 65 years, on the last weekend of October.The same venue, the same great beer, brewed to the Bavarian purity law of 1516. The same fun games, the same dress and the same Bavarian tradition and warm Namibian welcome.

The experience stays Bavarian. The welcome is warm and Namibian and it goes to everyone. Families, first-timers, old regulars, whoever you bring. We do not change the recipe to make room. We just pull up more chairs.

Prost, Namibia.
