Steins up: Hong Kong's Oktoberfest season is shaping up nicely for 2026. From a racecourse beer garden to a members' club car park turned Bavarian bash, four dated venues have confirmed their plans for October. Here is where to celebrate Oktoberfest in Hong Kong 2026.

Happy Valley Racecourse: Oktoberfest & Beerfest
The Hong Kong Jockey Club's Wednesday-night racing season leans into German beer-hall energy with two dedicated nights: Oktoberfest on 8 October and Beerfest on 15 October 2026. Expect a live oompah band, folk dancers, on-stage games and traditional German food alongside ice-cold beer, all set against the backdrop of live horse racing.
Oktoberfest & Beerfest at Happy Valley Racecourse (跑馬地馬場)
This is Hong Kong's cheapest way into the Oktoberfest season by far — a HK$10 Octopus tap gets you into the public grandstand areas, with racing, beer and German food all part of the same night. Confirm the night's running order on the HKJC Happy Wednesday site before you go.
Erdinger Oktoberfest, Causeway Bay
The Erdinger Oktoberfest returns to the Indian Recreation Club in Causeway Bay for a proper beer-tent weekend, with tented seating, live music and steins of Erdinger wheat beer on tap. It has run on the same weekend format in recent years, with 2026 dates confirmed for 21–22 October.
Erdinger Oktoberfest, Indian Recreation Club (印度遊樂會)
Tickets last year were sold via HK Ticketing with an optional Bier Pass for multiple beers on top of the base entry ticket. Treat the HK$199 figure as a 2025 guide price only — confirm 2026 tickets via Sassy Hong Kong or the event's ticketing page closer to October.
The Champion, Kai Tak Stadium
The Champion, the sports bar inside Kai Tak Stadium, has run an Oktoberfest with an unlimited German buffet and free-flowing beer in previous years, with 2026 dates pencilled in for 2–5 October. It is the most stadium-adjacent option on this list — useful if you are already planning a night around Kai Tak Sports Park.
Oktoberfest at The Champion Sports Bar & Bites
The Champion's Oktoberfest has previously run 6pm–11pm sessions with a beer mug and party hat included on entry. Call ahead on +852 3756 5210 or check the bar's own channels to confirm the final 2026 dates and price before booking.
Central Market Oktoberfest
Central Market, the revitalised Bauhaus-style market hall in Central, runs a lower-key but longer Oktoberfest season, with German food, beer and nightly live music from early October through to early November 2026, Monday to Saturday evenings.
Central Market Oktoberfest (中環街市)
Expect potato salad, pork and cheese sausages, crispy pork knuckle and apple strudel, alongside beer-themed games such as stein-holding and beer-drinking contests, plus a family-friendly balloon-pumping challenge. Nightly performances run 6pm–10pm; see Hong Kong Cheapo for the latest schedule.
Which Oktoberfest should you pick?
If budget is the priority, Happy Valley Racecourse wins easily at HK$10 entry with racing thrown in. If you want the full beer-tent experience with tented seating and a dedicated crowd, Erdinger Oktoberfest at the Indian Recreation Club is the closest Hong Kong gets to the real thing. The Champion suits anyone already headed to Kai Tak Stadium, while Central Market offers the longest run and the most flexible, drop-in format for a casual weeknight visit.
