Oktoberfest für Familien

A visible, welcoming cultural event for families and the wider Canberra community.

What to expect

Oktoberfest für Familien takes the spirit of a German cultural festival and reshapes it for children and families. The tone is playful, open and easy to join, with food, conversation and room for children to be part of the day rather than managed around it.

Who this is good for

This event works well for families who are still deciding whether Spielwelt might fit them. It offers a strong sense of atmosphere and belonging without requiring a formal first-program step.

Helpful to know before you come

Look out for family-friendly timings and simple practical details about food, space and what children can expect.
