This October, Manila transforms into a Bavarian haven as Newport World Resorts hosts its most spectacular Oktoberfest to date. From 8 to 11 October 2025, The Ballroom at Hilton Manila will be filled with overflowing beer, hearty feasts, and the infectious spirit of one of the world’s most beloved festivals.

Oktoberfest has been a global symbol of joy and togetherness for over 200 years. What began in 1810 as a wedding celebration for Crown Prince Ludwig in Munich has grown into an international tradition marked by clinking steins, lively brass music, and tables laden with Bavarian classics. Newport World Resorts now carries that legacy to Manila, blending Bavarian authenticity with Filipino hospitality.

This year’s celebration introduces a new buffet-style spread, giving guests the freedom to savor a wider variety of traditional dishes. Expect baskets of warm pretzels and rye bread with dips, platters of sausages, schnitzel, sauerkraut, and the iconic crispy pork knuckle with its irresistible golden crackling. Comforting sides like Spaetzle and braised red cabbage balance the hearty flavors, while desserts — apple strudel, Kaiserschmarrn, and jam-filled Krapfen — cap off the feast. Every dish is crafted by Newport World Resorts’ award-winning culinary team, staying true to Bavarian taste.

The celebration wouldn’t be complete without beer, and at the heart of it all is Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery. Weissbier and Lager flow on draft, while dark beer is served by the bottle — each sip echoing nearly a millennium of brewing tradition and Bavarian pride.

Adding to the festive vibe is the return of Austria’s Anton Showband, whose high-energy performances bring the unmistakable Oktoberfest soundtrack to life. Expect sing-alongs, dancing, and playful antics that turn the ballroom into Munich for the night. Guests can also join in traditional games and raffles, from stein-holding contests to beer races, making every moment a chance to celebrate.

Raise your steins, sing with the crowd, and experience Bavaria in Manila at Oktoberfest 2025 in Newport World Resorts.

Tickets are priced at P 5,500 nett and available at newportworldresorts.com/oktoberfest-2025. All four festival dates are open to the public, so don’t miss the city’s grandest Oktoberfest yet.
