This year’s festival is jointly being organised by Marriott Hotel in collaboration with the German Business Association.

The festival offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy laughter, singing, dancing, and the clatter of those renowned giant beer steins against tables along with traditional Bavarian folk music performed in costume by authentic German ensembles.
