Speaking at the opening ceremony of Oktoberfest Vietnam 2022, Mr. Erwin Popov, General Manager of Hanoi Daewoo Hotel said: “German beer festival Oktoberfest, which has been existed for more than 200 years, is one of the biggest festivals in the world. For the first time, Oktoberfest 2022 has been held at Hanoi Daewoo Hotel, not only recreating the original Oktoberfest with the vibrant and typical atmosphere of the German beer festival, but also including a hearty buffet with special guests in colorful Bavarian folk costumes”.

The festival was kicked off with the traditional ritual “beating of beer barrels” as the participants opened the first beer barrel and carried a 25m long sausage tree.
