Oktoberfest is on again in Dubbo early next month, with the local take on the traditional German combined bier festival and funfair sure to interest those with a hankering for some hearty fun on the October long weekend.

Lazy River Estate is the place to be on Saturday, October 4, for the event run in true Bavarian style with food, drinks, music and festive atmosphere.

“Grab your favourite German brews straight from our brewers,” the Lazy River team told Dubbo Photo News.

“Whether you're dancing, taking part in the pretzel eating contest, or enjoying a refreshing cold beer, Oktoberfest is the perfect occasion to gather with loved ones and make lasting memories!" the organisers said.
