O ZAPFT IS

The grand tapping of the barrel marks the ceremonial start of the Düsseldorf Oktoberfest and transforms the marquee into a sea of atmosphere, music and good humor. Tradition meets exuberant party atmosphere – a perfect start to two weeks of Oktoberfest fun.

Mickie Krause, the undisputed king of party hits, will be there to ensure the best party atmosphere with his cult songs. He will be supported by our Oktoberfest band Waidler Power, who will get the tent shaking with Bavarian sounds, modern beats and lots of energy.

An evening that offers everything: Tradition, party hits and that unmistakable Oktoberfest feeling in the middle of Düsseldorf. If you want to be there for the start of the biggest Oktoberfest on the Rhine, you shouldn’t miss this highlight.
