The tent moved to Strada Turnului in 2023. For the 2027 dates, watch the organisers’ site, oktoberfestromania.ro, and What’s on in Brașov.

What’s there

• The tent. The organisers call it the largest party tent in Romania. In 2023 it covered about 2,000 m² (Radio România Actualități).
• Beer. Several kinds are on tap. In 2026 the house beer was a Ciucaș Malzbier, sold in 500 ml glasses and 1-litre steins (oktoberfestromania.ro).
• Food. Food stands mix Romanian and Bavarian dishes.
• A funfair (Luna Park) next to the tent.
• Concerts and events. In 2026 the festival opened on 27 August with a parade at 17:00 and the tapping of the first barrel at 18:00. Miss Oktoberfest was held on 29 August, and the final of the Regele Berii (“King of Beer”) contest on 5 September (Zile și Nopți). The 2025 line-up included the Romanian rock bands Iris, Compact and Direcția 5 (Zile și Nopți).

Getting there

The tent stands on Strada Turnului in the Tractorul district, next to Parcul Tractorul and the Coresi Shopping Resort. That is outside the Old Town, so the easiest way there is by taxi or ride-hailing app. You can also take a city bus towards Tractorul. Our guide to transport in Brașov explains tickets and apps.

Is it worth it?

Go if you want a big, noisy beer-tent night with Romanian rock bands. Entry costs nothing, so it is easy to drop in for an hour. Don’t expect a link to Brașov’s own Saxon heritage: for that, visit the Black Church and the Old Town. If you are in Brașov in spring, the Junii parade is the city’s own festival.
