Hamburg Gay Oktoberfest
- Next Edition: Sunday 11th October 2026
- Hamburg Gay Wiesn brings a proudly queer take on Oktoberfest to Hofbräu Wirtshaus Speersort for an afternoon and evening of beer, Bavarian outfits and unapologetically camp German party music.
- Presented by Hamburg party organiser 136°, the 14th edition runs from 4 pm to 11 pm.
- Arrive early: admission is limited to the period between 4 pm and 5 pm.
What to expect
- The afternoon starts with guests filling the long shared tables inside Hofbräu Wirtshaus. From 5 pm, the party moves into full GayWiesn mode with beer, singalong favourites and Après-ski hits.
- This is a social beer-hall party rather than a late-night circuit event. Expect groups of friends sharing tables, standing on benches and joining in with German party classics.
- Lederhosen, checked shirts and dirndls are strongly encouraged. Dressing for the occasion matters: 50 litres of complimentary beer will be awarded through competitions for the best traditional outfit and the finest calves—hairy or smooth.
- Selected tickets include a complimentary 0.5-litre Maß of beer. Check the inclusions attached to your chosen ticket before booking.
- Party: 4 pm–11 pm Entry window: 4 pm–5 pm
The Venue
- Hofbräu Wirtshaus Speersort is a large Bavarian beer hall in central Hamburg, close to the shopping streets, Rathaus and Hauptbahnhof.
- The venue is approximately a 15-minute walk from the Lange Reihe gay bars in St. Georg. Its long communal tables suit the GayWiesn format, creating a busy, sociable atmosphere from the opening hour.
- Stay at the Park Hyatt Hamburg, located close to both the bars and the party venue and enjoy their “Fabulous” rated service, beautiful indoor pool, comfortable rooms and walking distance to all the city’s top attractions.
