Oktoberfest with AJ Hackett
It’s barely been 2 weeks since AJ Hackett Sentosa has opened and already they’re playing host to a party featuring booze, live music, and death-defying experiences.
From 5-8 October 2017, Mastercard is collaborating with AJ Hackett to hold OktoberFest @ Sapphire Pavilion. For those who are wary of the dreaded entrance fees associated with merrymaking, hesitate no more as there is NO cover charge at all for this event.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
There will be street games

We’ve all heard about soccer, but Speed Cage Soccer may raise a few eyebrows. There will be a speed cage soccer booth during the event, where players compete to score a goal in an inflatable net. The catch? The net is equipped with a speed reading to catch the movement of the ball, so players, unleash your inner David Beckham to compete for the fastest shot of the day!
Golfers, there are bunker shots that you can participate in too! Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, this is perfect place to practice those difficult putts.

Kiddos are not exempted from fun either as there will be Bavarian hair braiding and face painting booths available. Doll them up in this cute milkmaid hairstyle, and it’ll be a perfect family photo op moment.
A sandy-play area will also be specially set up for children, so if you’re driving over, bring along an extra set of clothes for them – you’ll be saving yourself a world of hassle!
Live band by Die Paulaner Musikanten

A German festival isn’t complete without music, and for this Oktoberfest, Die Paulaner Musikanten is here to celebrate the occasion with us – “the Musik-what?”, you may ask. The Bavarian band is made up of seasoned street performers and musicians, and their traditional folk music is spiced up with quirky dancing!
For a more immersive experience, make any payment with Mastercard to access the Stein Pit (aka the VIP area) – the place offers a closer view of the band, and there are dedicated service staff there to cater to your needs.
Try the ORIGINAL Oktoberfest beer

Fact: The Oktoberfest started out in small beer tents, which became so popular that they eventually “evolved” into tent halls with the backing of microbreweries. Beer is a major part of German culture, and if that strikes a chord with you, don’t miss out on the original Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier! This full bodied beer is malty, with dark toffee notes and a subtle fruitiness – perfect for those who prefer their beer rich.
And for those who’d like to take a festival memento home, make your payment by Mastercard – a minimum spend of $100 on OktoberFest beer gives you a chance at a lucky draw to win a Paulaner Beer Stein.
Note: Five Paulaner Beer Steins are to be given away daily.
Enjoy pork knuckles and other Bavarian food

Sio bak lovers, the Traditional Pork Knuckle With Sweet Sour Cabbage ($32.00) is for you. You’ll be served an entire pork knuckle that’s tenderly roasted, along with crackling golden brown skin – the generous portion of meat is sure to satisfy any sio bak cravings for a week!

Enjoy a panoramic view of Sentosa on the 17 storeys high AJ Hackett Skybridge
Whether it’s a first date or you’re simply hanging out with bae, the AJ Hackett Skybridge is sure to impress. At 17 storeys high, the bridge offers a majestic view of Siloso beach, and there are glass panels in the floor that you can look through for a feel of walking on air. We’ve heard there are plans to convert the full bridge into a glass-panelled one in the future too!
Note: Mastercard cardholders are entitled to 25% off your Skybridge tickets (U.P $16). For just $12, this is a pretty dang good deal for a panoramic view of Siloso Beach.
Bravehearts can inch their way closer to the glass booth – with a glimpse of the roads beneath you, you’ll literally be standing on the edge.
