Beer and oysters combine forces in new Bay Of Islands festival

Written by Oct 15, 2024The Shout NZ

The Bay of Island’s biggest celebration of beer and food, Oktoberfest X Oysterfest, is coming to The Old Packhouse Market this Labour Weekend.

The Old Packhouse Market will be transformed on Sunday, 27 October, into a multi-zone festival site, with beer halls, stages, themed bars and food vendors.

The Oktoberfest Beer Hall is located within the venue and will be serving the best Northland craft beer, with a selection of award-winning varieties from McLeod’s Brewery, Waipu, and Bay of Islands Brewing Co.

The beer hall will have all the Oktoberfest vibes, long tables, The Little Oompah Band playing your Bavarian faves and popular hits ‘oompah style’ and lots of singalongs. This area will be R18 and has restricted capacity.

All ticket holders receive a souvenir Oktoberfest X Oysterfest beer stein to keep (while supplies last).

The Oktoberfest combines with a celebration of our Northland oysters.

For the non-beer drinkers there will be a range of great Northland wines and cocktails featuring local Black Collar Distillery spirits.

Tickets are on sale now for $45 plus booking fee, click here for more info.
