InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa is delighted to announce the return of its iconic Oktoberfest celebration, one of the hotel’s most eagerly awaited annual events. Taking place on 2 and 3 October, and again on 9 and 10 October 2025, this year’s festival promises the most authentic Bavarian experience in Doha, hosted in the vibrant setting of the Wiesn Tent, hosting over one thousand guests each evening.

First held in Munich in 1810, Oktoberfest has grown into one of the world’s largest folk festivals, drawing millions of visitors every year. Here in Qatar, InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa has proudly carried on the tradition for over 13 years, firmly establishing its Oktoberfest as a highlight of the city’s social calendar, offering guests the unmistakable atmosphere of this famed German celebration.

Guests can look forward to an experience brimming with Bavarian charm, complete with live traditional music, lively entertainment and an extensive selection of premium beverages. Adding to the excitement, Austrian oompah group Sweet Chili Oktoberfest Band will once again take to the stage, performing a spirited mix of alpine folk tunes, popular hits and interactive show acts. From festive contests to engaging games, they will bring all the camaraderie and joy that define Oktoberfest.

To complement the festivities, the hotel’s award-winning chefs will be serving an abundant spread of Oktoberfest favourites; from bratwurst and pretzels to schnitzel, strudel and beyond, ensuring guests savour the authentic flavours and culinary traditions of Bavaria in this one-of-a-kind dining celebration.
