Oktoberfest in Moraira

The Oktoberfest in Moraira is a local version of the well-known German beer festival, and it’s a hugely popular event. While the full, detailed programmeme will be determined by the local festival commissions closer to the date, here is the information for the 2025 event.

General information:

Dates: Thursday 25th September to Sunday 28th September

Location: The festival is traditionally held at the “Les Sorts” car park in the center of Moraira.

What to expect:

The festival brings a taste of Bavaria to the Costa Blanca, with a large marquee or tent where attendees can enjoy:

• German Beer: An essential part of any Oktoberfest, you’ll find a selection of German beers, often served in traditional steins.
• Traditional food: Expect a menu of classic German dishes, such as sausages like bratwurst, sauerkraut, pretzels, and roasted meats.
• Live music: Traditional German music is played to keep the atmosphere lively. In previous years, this has included performers like D Ewaldo. The festival also often features live bands playing a mix of popular and traditional music.
• Family-friendly atmosphere: While it is a beer festival, it’s also a family-friendly event with a great, festive atmosphere. The party often extends into the evening with DJ sessions and live bands.

The official opening ceremony, which includes the traditional “tapping of the barrel,” usually begins the event on Thursday evening. This is a popular event among both residents and tourists, so it can get crowded, especially on weekends.
