Advance tickets now on sale for the Herborner Oktoberfest

The 6th Herborner Oktoberfest is just around the corner

While carnival season has barely been laid to rest across Germany, Herborn is already deep into planning its Oktoberfest: Festbetriebe Böckl from the Upper Palatinate is once again running this popular large-scale event for the sixth time. The festival at the Festplatz runs from 9-11 October and again on 16 and 17 October 2026.

The two festival hosts, Gerhard Böckl and Sepp Ebnet, backed by Herborner Stadtmarketing, are sticking to the formula that works: high-energy partying, enthusiastic guests in dirndls and lederhosen, and Bavarian beer - Benediktiner once more.

The Herborner Oktoberfest kicks off on Friday, 10 October, with the traditional barrel tapping and musical opening. Local crowd-warmers Mission:2Party will get the evening going, before Ballermann icon Mickie Krause takes the stage and turns the tent into a full-on party.

On Saturday, 11 October, the crowd-favourite band "Highline" from the Upper Palatinate returns. Julia Schönberger, Norman Schelter and the rest of the crew will warm up the tent on Walkmühlenweg for another headline guest: Lorenz Büffel makes his second appearance in Herborn since 2023, bringing hits like "Baila" and "Johnny Däpp".

The first weekend wraps up with the traditional Frühschoppen on Sunday, 12 October. From 11:00, Musikverein Herbornseelbach takes the stage - entry is free.

The second weekend opens on Friday, 16 October, with local cover band EVE. Ikke Hüftgold returns for another year, looking forward to the short drive from Limburg and the memories of last year's show.
