DUBLIN, October 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — “O’zapft is” (it is tapped) was the call you could hear yesterday at 12 o’clock on the George’s Dock in the Dublin Docklands. For the third time the Oktoberfest opened its doors there. Up to the 10th of October, more than 30 Bavarian bar maids and the brass band the “Mostlandstuermer” bring Bavarian customs and a touch of the Munich Oktoberfest to Ireland. Several stands and a big marquee were transported from Germany to Dublin and invite people daily from 11h up to 1am in the morning (Saturdays from 10am till 1am, Sundays 10am till 8pm) to take part in swaying to music, singing and just joining in the celebrations.
Already on the first day more than 1000 Irish people celebrated the famous Bavarian festival, which celebrates its second centenary in Munich this year.
Admission is free up to 10pm, thereafter visitors can obtain an admission wristband for 5EUR at the entrance to the festival platform. This voucher includes a substantial meal at the value of 10EUR.
Partners to the Dublin Oktoberfest are Erdinger and Radio Q102.
