Hotel Nongshim in Busan will host the “2025 Heosimcheongbräu Oktoberfest” from October 23 to 25 at its outdoor venue in Oncheon-dong, Dongrae-gu.

Modeled after Germany’s renowned Oktoberfest, the festival has been a staple event since 2004, attracting approximately 4,000 visitors annually.

Originally held indoors, it moved outdoors in 2014 in collaboration with the Dongrae-eupseong Festival and has since become one of the hotel’s signature events.

This year’s festival, themed “Don’t Worry, Beer Happy,” aims to bring together beer enthusiasts of all generations.

Guests can enjoy unlimited traditional German-style craft beers brewed by Heosimcheongbräu.

The festival will also offer a variety of foods that pair perfectly with beer, such as Schweinshaxe and fried chicken, prepared by Hotel Nongshim’s chefs.

In addition to the drinks and food, attendees can participate in fun activities like beer-drinking contests and couple-matching events, while enjoying live performances held nightly.

Tickets are priced at 34,000 won per person and can be purchased through the hotel’s official website or at the front desk.
