Queen Elizabeth Plaza

Where to celebrate Oktoberfest in Vancouver

Held under a traditional Festzelte tent at Queen Elizabeth Plaza, the Harvest Haus food and drink festival takes place over two weekends and is heavy on folklore and feasting. Expect European food stalls serving pretzels and bratwurst, musical performances from Oom-pah bands, traditional German dancing, and brewers that’ll fill your stein to get you in the spirit. If you really want to go all out, splurge on a VIP package, which guarantees your seat at the Bavaria-themed long table dinner and includes a traditional German costume (lederhosen for the gents; dirndls for the ladies) and a souvenir gold stein.
