Mallorca is gearing up for a lively autumn as Oktoberfest makes its highly anticipated and beery return to the island, with celebrations planned in Santa Ponsa, Playa de Palma, and the Mallorca Country Club.
The main event in Santa Ponsa, organised by Holger Becker, will run from Friday, October 17, to Sunday, October 26, at the Son Bugadelles windmill grounds, and it looks like it will recreate the vibrant atmosphere that attracted over 12,000 before.
The Santa Ponsa festival will feature a spacious tent accommodating up to 1,000 guests, open daily from 1pm to 11pm on weekdays and from 11am on weekends. Admission is free, making sure everyone can join the festivities. Expect authentic Bavarian cuisine curated by island restaurateur Werner Wiedemann, with hearty dishes like roasted chicken, pork knuckles, and giant pretzels, paired with Munich's iconic Hofbräu beer served by staff in traditional lederhosen and dirndls. The blue-and-white canopy will set the stage for a true Oktoberfest experience, drawing German residents, tourists, and locals. Last year, even Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp was spotted among the crowd.
Other than Santa Ponsa, smaller Oktoberfest events will be taking place at Playa de Palma and the Country Club Santa Ponsa, offering more opportunities to enjoy the festive spirit.
Mark your calendars for a taste of Bavaria in the Mediterranean sun, with Mallorca's Oktoberfest, set to be a highlight of the season!
