About The Event
LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE!
The Brisbane German Club is putting on a MONTH of Bavarian festivities for you….
…starting with the Anzapfen ceremony on this Saturday and we will not miss it!
If you’ve experienced it in the past, then you know exactly why Anzapfen {tapping the first keg Ceremony} is a highlight at any Oktoberfest.
This tradition has been celebrated at the Oktoberfest in Munich for two centuries, with the city’s Lord Mayor tapping the first keg of Bier and offering the first stein poured to the Head of State, announcing “O’zapft is” {“It is tapped”}.
