Brasov would no longer be itself without a German Oktoberfest tradition. We adopted the authentic Bavarian style, German music, culinary specialties, Bavarian unfiltered beer, a tent decorated in blue and white, games with prizes.
Good food and happiness, represents a successful recipe of Oktoberfest. Bavarian lion crowned flag has become the emblem of the local Oktoberfest which in 2017 will fulfill nine years.
In this eleven days, Braşov is turning into a little Bavaria; we choose to see that in the view of the streets, the characters and the german style. It is an event that started to bring a plus for German community of Brașov and has grown to be a valuable addition to the city, to promote the traditions of Transylvanian Saxons in Bucharest and Timișoara also. Words like the famous «Zicke Zacke Zicke Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi» are no longer a novelty for the locals who wait impatiently for the onset of Brașov each year’s Oktoberfest!
Autumn leaves fall, rain begin, children returning to school and the birds are back in warm countries. Only stereotypes! In Brașov is happening something! A competition between the most playful comedians. The jury will be made of Teo, Sarboi and Bogdan Naomovici. Adi Bobo, winner of last year, will be back at the microphone but this time, as a presenter of the show and stand up guest.
In addition to the competition, the spectators will attend the Stand Up show with Gabriel Gherghe, Andrei Ciobanu, Raul Gheba, Teo, Costel, Toma și Adi Bobo.
