Puente de Vallecas is warming up the engines for the celebration of its most German and beer festival: the Oktoberfest Vallekana 2025. For ten days, from September 11 to 21, the Pistas del Parque Javier de Miguel (Diligencia street, 8) will host for the second consecutive year a large tent “in the purest German style, with wooden benches and tables brought directly from Germany,” according to the organization.
Under this tent, through which 7,500 people passed in the 2024 edition, attendees will have the opportunity to taste the traditional beers of Weihenstephan -one of the official beers of the authentic Munich Oktoberfest- and Hofbräu München -the oldest brewery in the world, dating back to the year 1040-.
In addition to liters and liters of beer, there will be food trucks with different types of food to accompany them, such as Saltxichauto sausages from Thate, Mexican food from La Botana, burgers from Karnota Beach Burger or handmade stone-baked pizzas from L’ Arte Bianca.
Gastronomic offer apart, the Oktoberfest Vallekana plan also includes “activities, music and surprises during all the days of the event”. To keep up to date on the latest news we advise you to keep an eye on their social networks.
