You're reading: Kyiv’s Oktoberfest

The festival will be exactly what you would expect: loud music, lots of fried sausages, potatoes, sauerkraut and lots of beer.

Among the nine kinds of the yeast drink, there’ll be a special type courtesy of the authentic Oktoberfest in Germany. The smallest serving will be no less than a liter, so watch what you drink. Stronger alcohol will be on sale as well, which hopefully means more police squads on duty that weekend.

With the orchestra, rock and pop music, drinking games of all sorts will be allowed in open air just this one time during a Ukrainian copycat festival. Just don’t forget that public consumption of alcohol, including beer, is illegal in Ukraine.

Oct.8 at 5 p.m., Oct 9, 10 at 11 a.m.-11p.m., stadium Spartak, 105 Frunze, Tickets: Hr 30 – 50
