Oktoberfest Frankfurt on the Main

A real Wiesn atmosphere on the MS Rheingold

This only happens in Frankfurt! An exuberant Oktoberfest party on the Main, with everything you need for a real Wiesn` Gaudi: Zünftige Musi, a beer garden, a traditional Trachtenstadel and of course lots of good-humored party guests. Why go to Munich, when you can have the exuberant atmosphere on the Main - including skyline view! When the MS Rheingold leaves its berth on the banks of the Main to take you on an unforgettable party trip, it's first "Obglegt hoats" in Frankfurt and then finally "O`zapft is"!

The Oktoberfest

Since 1810, the largest folk festival in the world has been celebrated on Munich's Theresienwiese - known as the Wiesn for short. Year after year, between 5 and 7 million guests from all over the world flock to the festival grounds, which cover some 30 hectares, to drink 6 million litres of beer, consume over 300,000 fried donkeys or nibble on over 28,000kg of roasted almonds. Of course, the incomparable atmosphere in the festival tents and the many rides are also part of a real Wiesn. No wonder there are now Oktoberfest copies in the USA, Brazil, China, Australia, Africa or Russia.

And even in Germany, small Oktoberfest variants have been celebrated in various cities for years. They all may not come close to the original. But Oktoberfest parties like the one on the MS Rheingold spread such a great atmosphere even in a smaller space that when you're celebrating, you quickly forget that there's still the big original in faraway Munich.

The Music

They belong to the Oktoberfest like knuckles and pretzels: The Wiesn hits! Catchy tunes to sing along, sway to and dance to. Of course you will get them in Frankfurt, too. Because for the floating Oktoberfest two first-class atmosphere guarantors could be won: Wildbach - Fürst Balthazar and Hautnah - Die Partyband.

Wildbach - Prince Balthazar

On Friday, folk rockers Wildbach will be creating a great atmosphere at Oktoberfest on Main: The band, whose unmistakable trademark besides the sound of the "steirische Ziacha" is their wild, top-hat wearing frontman Fürst Balthazar, interprets well-known folk music, Schlager and rock titles as you have never heard them before. In addition, there is a fascinating stage show that you simply must have seen!

With this, they are guaranteed to rock the MS Rheingold. 100% atmosphere guarantee and a music program that leaves nothing to be desired has top priority.

You can find more info on the band HERE

 

Hautnah - The Party Band

Hautnah will offer the guests on Saturday a power-volxrock program of the extra class with rousing show acts. The band plays with more than 80 performances per year in the entertainment genre at the top and is now known far beyond the borders.

The band has a lot of fun on stage, and that is guaranteed to transfer quickly to the audience on the MS Rheingold. It's going to be an Oktoberfest-gaudi that has it all - and you can be there NOW!

The beer

As it should be for a real Oktoberfest, of course, the appropriate festival beer may not be missing here. And there is actually only one beer that has also earned this title: The Original Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier! And that's what will be served at the Oktoberfest party on the MS Rheingold. The bottom-fermented Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier, with an alcohol content of 6.3% by volume, has a festive appearance with a fine, shiny, strong golden hue and a lush head. Its bouquet is malty and floral with a fine hop aroma. Hofbräu Oktoberfestbier convinces with a smooth, full-bodied, quaffable taste and a slightly hop-floral finish. As unique as the Oktoberfest!

The right outfit

The music is right, the right beer is being served - all that's missing now is the right Oktoberfest outfit! It wouldn't be a real Oktoberfest party without Dirndl or Krachlederne, would it? You can find that in Frankfurt at DEITERS on the Zeil or online at: https://www.deiters.en/trachten
