Steel City Oktoberfest in the Hammer

Hamilton’s Most Authentic Oktoberfest – Only at the Germania Club!

Get ready to raise your steins and sing along to your favourite Bavarian tunes at the Steel City Oktoberfest, hosted by the Germania Club of Hamilton — a proud home of German-Canadian culture for over 160 years!

If you’re looking for a true Oktoberfest experience without booking a flight to Munich, this is it. Our event transforms the Germania Club grounds into a lively, authentic Bavarian Beer Garden, where the spirit of Oktoberfest comes alive with music, food, and a warm sense of community.

Fun for All Ages
New to the celebration is a family-friendly afternoon filled with live entertainment, interactive activities, and festive fun designed for all generations. Whether you’re young, young at heart, or somewhere in between, there’s something for everyone to enjoy throughout the day.

Unforgettable Evening Entertainment
As the sun sets, the party kicks into high gear. Our evening program features high-energy live music, traditional Oktoberfest sing-alongs, and dancing that will keep you moving all night long. The legendary Nu-Tones Band takes the stage to bring the crowd to life — don’t be surprised if you’re dancing on your bench!

Delicious German Fare
You won’t leave hungry — our kitchen will be serving up a mouthwatering menu of traditional German favourites all day and into the evening:

  • Crispy schnitzels
  • Juicy sausages and pork hocks
  • Authentic potato salad and sauerkraut (made from Oma’s secret recipe!)
  • Fresh German pretzels to keep your hands and taste buds busy between sips

Bavarian Beer – The Real Deal
It’s not Oktoberfest without beer, and we’re proud to pour Paulaner — a world-famous brew straight from Munich, Germany. For those who prefer something closer to home, a full selection of Canadian beers will also be available on tap. Come thirsty — we’ve got you covered!

Tradition & Celebration
Join us for two special Oktoberfest highlights:

  • The ceremonial Tapping of the Keg. Witness our Oktoberfest hosts and Guest of Honour kick off the evening with the first pour of Freibier (yes, that means free beer!). It’s a moment of cheer and celebration you won’t want to miss.
  • The festive crowning of Ms. Oktoberfest, a light-hearted tradition that adds a fun flair to the night

Come for the beer. Stay for the music. Leave with a smile.

PROSIT!
