Festival «GBA Oktoberfest 2026»

   Three evenings in the garden of the former German consular residence in Ho Chi Minh City: a Bavarian band from Austria, free-flowing Paulaner and a German buffet — this is the Oktoberfest the German Business Association (GBA) has been throwing here since 1992. You pick up a mug; everything else is in the ticket.

   This is the 34th edition, and it moves for the first time into the house where Germany's consuls once lived — fitting for a German festival. It runs under the patronage of the German Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, hosted by GBA and the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Vietnam), with Paulaner as beer partner.

   What the evening includes:

• — unlimited imported German beer from Paulaner
• — a buffet of traditional German and Bavarian dishes
• — live music from Austria's O'zapft Band, followed by a DJ set
• — games and prize draws through the night

   It is built for groups: colleagues, friends, and anyone who wants a night among thousands of guests from around the world — expats, business people and their Vietnamese friends. Bring out the dirndl or lederhosen; people here take them seriously.

   Two ticket notes. Friday 25 September individual tickets are already sold out. On Saturday there is a cheaper option — entry after 8 pm with a standing spot at a cocktail table; other tickets give you a seat at a table for the whole evening.

   If you have ever wanted a real Oktoberfest without flying to Munich, this one has more than thirty years behind it.
