Location
The Wädenswil Oktoberfest takes place in the Neubühl festival grounds, right next to the Wädenswil
motorway exit. The approach will be signposted.
Shuttle and parking
The shuttle bus runs directly from Wädenswil train station to the festival grounds from 4:30 PM to 1:45 AM. The last bus departs from the festival grounds back to Wädenswil train station at 1:45 AM. For your individual journey home, taxis from Wädi Taxi GmbH are available directly at the festival grounds.
Parking at the venue is very limited. However, since we have been informed that beer and spirits will be served again this year, we recommend arriving by public transport or using our shuttle service.
Food & Drink
The menu features typical Bavarian specialties such as crispy chicken with fries or knuckle of pork with mashed potatoes. We also offer a fantastic vegetarian menu. We use exclusively Swiss meat, preferring local suppliers. Our beer selection includes the finest regional beer or a Hofbräu wheat beer.
If you visit the main tent, your ticket automatically includes a meal of your choice and your first drink. If you visit us in the free beer garden or bar tent, you can also enjoy a delicious beer or a Bavarian white sausage there.
VIP boxes
The VIP boxes are available for 10 or 20 people and come with their own beer tap. Your group can celebrate in privacy and enjoy freshly tapped beer! The boxes can be booked through our ticket shop, and we can decorate them upon request, for example, with your company logo. So why not host a team event at Oktoberfest? Book your VIP box now!
Order and cleanliness
Please leave the festival area as clean and tidy as possible. There are garbage containers everywhere. We also ask you to keep the burden on the residents as small as possible.
Photo and video recordings
During the event, photos and videos will be taken, which may be used for our reporting, website, and social media channels. We take care not to publish any unflattering images. Individual photos of clearly identifiable people will only be used with their explicit consent.
