With the OkSoberfest, Berlin is celebrating the premiere of a new festival format. The Kulturbrauerei in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood is transforming into a gathering place for everyone.

Visitors can try out new beverage trends in a relaxed festival atmosphere, accompanied by a daily program featuring live music, activities for body and mind, interesting facts, and parties—all completely alcohol-free.

The concept behind Germany’s first alcohol-free beer festival sends an important message about a modern, health-conscious lifestyle and brings together people who want to celebrate mindfully.

Singer Marc Terenzi has now been living completely alcohol-free for two years:

“I’ve spent a lot of time at Oktoberfest in Munich and performed in the Käfer tent—now I’m looking forward to the OkSoberfest even more—it shows that the true spirit of celebration isn’t about alcohol, but about coming together, celebrating life, and creating unforgettable memories.”

Other highlights on stage include Sebastian Klussmann (TV “know-it-all” from the ARD show “Gefragt, Gejagt”) with an alcohol-free pub quiz; bestselling author Michael Nast speaking on the topic of “Sober Dating”; and Stumpen from the Berlin band Knorkator singing with his daughter.

In addition to the stage program, there will be a wide variety of activities for children and adults, such as mini table tennis, Beer Pong 0.0, darts, eSports gaming, yoga, fitness, and the chance to try out the trendy sport of padel using a ball trainer.

Organizer Alexander van Hessen:

“The OkSoberfest isn’t meant to be a lecture on alcohol or a plea to abstain; rather, we want to usher in a new era of festivals, bring young and old together, and celebrate as one—but without intoxicants, and thus avoid the hangover.”

Tickets for the festival are currently available here as “Early Bird” tickets for just 8.50 EUR (later 12 EUR) or as a two-day pass for 14.99 EUR—each including one free non-alcoholic beer.

Summary:

  • Marc Terenzi and DJ Tomekk are the musical headliners.
  • Berlin’s first alcohol-free beer garden is launching with a pop-up event.
  • Two days of music, fitness, and children’s activities.
  • This new format, part of Berlin Food Week and dedicated to non-alcoholic beers and trendy drinks, turns the Kesselhaus and Maschinenhaus into Berlin’s largest “Späti.”
