If you’ve been dreaming about a trip to Munich
this fall but can’t get away, we have some great news for you. Oktoberfest is
coming to Moscow.
The German Russian Chamber of Commerce is
hosting a three-day Oktoberfest celebration at the German Embassy from Thursday
Sept. 14 through Saturday Sept. 16.
There will be several varieties of German beer
on tap and lots of Bavarian delicacies, all served to the accompaniment of traditional
Bavarian music performed on two stages. On one stage will be the authentic
Oktoberfest band, “Die Kirchdorfer,” which has been playing at the
Theresienwiese in Munich for over a decade. The other group is a Russian band called
“Bavarskaya Karusel” that plays traditional German music.
Be sure to come with the whole family. While parents,
aunts, uncles, friends, business partners, and grandparents are enjoying their
feast, the kids will have their own special entertainment program. Come in
jeans or lederhosen, but if you wear a dirndl skirt, be careful about how you
tie the bow.
Tickets are limited, so be sure to book
early. For more information about the
event, tickets, location and beers — and dirndl bows — in English, German and
Russian, see the event site.
