Location
The Wädenswil Oktoberfest takes place in the Neubühl festival grounds, right next to the Wädenswil
motorway exit. The approach will be signposted.
Parking and Shuttle
On the site there are only very limited parking spaces available. Since we were told that this year again beer and spirits are served, we recommend the journey by public transport and our shuttle.
The shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes from 16: 30- 01:45 directly from the station to the festival grounds.
For your individual journey home, cabs from Wädi Taxi GmbH are available directly at the festival site.
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, as well as on our website and social media channels. We take care not to publish unflattering images. Individual shots of clearly identifiable individuals will only be used with express consent. For those who would like to take souvenir photos, our photo booth is available – you can take photos and print them directly. By participating in the event, you agree to be photographed in general mood or group shots.
