Fun Facts
Oktoberfest was established in Germany in 1810. It was a public celebration of the marriage of King Ludwig I of Bavaria to Princess Theresia.
Biergarten restaurant, in the heart of the Bavarian Village in the Germany Pavilion at Epcot theme park, celebrates Oktoberfest all year long. Authentic German cuisine is served for lunch and dinner buffets.
Lively costumed musicians provide traditional Oktoberfest entertainment throughout lunch and dinner. Music and merriment resound as diners are encouraged to dance and be part of the boisterous merrymaking–or simply relax in the twilight atmosphere in this magnificent German hall.
At the Biergarten Restaurant, seating is at long communal tables that offer a great view of the festivities. Grab a chair, join the revelry and create your own traditional German meal. Rotating lunch and dinner selections consist of hearty German favorites such as bratwurst, red cabbage sauerkraut, pork schnitzel and spaetzle.
Delicious desserts, from Bavarian cheesecake to freshly baked apple strudel, complete any meal at the Biergarten Restaurant. Get into the spirit of Oktoberfest and raise a stein of German beer, a glass of Rhine wine or a refreshing soft drink.
Say "Prost!" as you enjoy a wonderful celebration filled with food, fun and entertainment!
