Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival, held annually in Munich, Germany, attracting millions of visitors from around the globe. Celebrating Bavarian culture, the event originated in 1810 as a royal wedding celebration and has since grown into a 16 to 18-day festival filled with traditional music, folk costumes, hearty German cuisine, and, of course, vast amounts of beer. Attendees enjoy locally brewed beer in giant tents, while participating in parades, rides, and games. Though rooted in Munich, Oktoberfest-inspired events are held worldwide, including on our very own home island of Mallorca.
Oktoberfest at the MCC
Get ready to raise your steins! Join the Mallorca Country Club on October 18 and 19 for their very own MCC Oktoberfest, complete with great music, delicious food, and an unbeatable atmosphere.

On Saturday, they will be hosting a special themed day specifically for British guests, adding a distinctive twist to the festivities. Don’t miss out on this Bavarian-style celebration—bring your friends and family for two days of fun at the Mallorca Country Club. Mark your calendars!
