What Is Oktoberfest?

Oktoberfest is the famous Bavarian folk festival that originated in Munich, Germany.

The 2026 Munich Oktoberfest runs from September 19 to October 4, which is why the festival season starts well before October.

The traditional celebration is known for Bavarian food, music, folk costumes, communal dining and large festival tents.

Doha’s celebrations take inspiration from that atmosphere while taking place at local hotels, restaurants and venues.

What Food Can You Expect?

If you are mainly going for the food, look out for:

  • Pretzels and Brezn
  • German sausages
  • Currywurst
  • Chicken schnitzel
  • Veal escalope
  • Käsespätzle
  • Rindergulasch
  • Apple strudel
  • Kaiserschmarrn

Several Doha venues are offering these German-inspired dishes throughout the Oktoberfest season.

Before You Go

Check the date, price, age requirements, reservation policy and menu directly with the venue before heading out.
