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.

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.
