Oktoberfest at Capitol Singapore & CHIJMES

Good beer, good German food, and good company – these are the 3 quintessential things that make for a smashing Oktoberfest. This year, Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES have put together a slew of Oktoberfest activities, including live music, German food and beer, and even a pop-up market selling artisanal goods.

Now, all you have to do is get your friends together and indulge in the festivities.

There are 2 Oktoberfest parties – 1 at Capitol Singapore and 1 at CHIJMES.

The party at Capitol Singapore will be graced by Summer Oompah!, a live band that specialises in traditional German music. To bring the authenticity up a notch, the performers wear lederhosen and dirndls. If you want to check them out, head down to the Outdoor Plaza at Capitol Singapore.
