The Paulaner Oktoberfest Dublin is in its second year now at Georges Dock in the IFSC. Darren has already had a competition to win tickets to dinner at the opening night here (hurry it closes today!).
Last year over 70,000 people attended and if the huge increase in attendees to SeptemberFest this year is anything to go by, it’s going to be huge!
Running from Thursday 8 to Sunday 18 October, the Oktoberfest will celebrate all things Bavarian but especially the beer. A Bavarian band, Mostland Stürmer will entertain every lunch time from 12 to 2pm and in the evenings from 6pm.
As you listen to the band you can wander around the various stalls selling delicious Paulaner Weiss Bier, Wurst (German sausage), Sauerkraut (pickled cabbage), Bretzels, pastries, and a host of other Bavarian favourites such as smoked ham, potato pancakes, cheese, mushrooms and dumplings. Mmmm. It takes me back to my summer spent in the Schwarzwald (Black Forest)…hopefully someone will have the foresight to sell some Blackforest gateau too-the proper one with the alcohol in it, Kirschwaβer (cherry liqueur) 
If all of that is not quite enough, tables can be reserved in the beer tent for you and your friends where you will be served by some of 30 girls dressed in the traditional German Dirndl. Swit swoo.
The Paulaner Oktoberfest Dublin is free to attend, runs from Thursday 8 October to Sunday 18 October and opening hours are
Monday to Saturday 12.30pm - 12.30am
Sunday 12.00pm - 8.00pm

Those pictures aren’t from the Oktoberfest in Dublin, which is misleading. The waitresses are shown serving Helles Bier, which is the proper Oktoberfest beer, and which you simply won’t get at the Paulaner event - only Weißbier
Hi Chris, sorry about that I wasn’t intending to mislead anyone, I used photos from the official Paulaner Oktoberfest website.
