29. Zürcher Oktoberfest Bauschänzli 2026

The Zurich Oktoberfest brings Bavarian tradition to the Swiss metropolis. The event at Bauschänzli is an integral part of the city's autumn programme.

Tradition on Lake Zurich

The festival closely follows the customs of the original Munich event. In addition to traditional brass band music and culinary classics such as pretzels and pork knuckles, the focus is on socialising. The decorations and the programme follow fixed rituals that have built up a loyal regular clientele over the years.

A social event

The Zurich Oktoberfest attracts a wide range of visitors, from company outings to private groups. The combination of gastronomy and entertainment in a rustic atmosphere contrasts with modern city life and creates a unique atmosphere in the heart of Zurich.
