Oktoberfest Returns to Alicante's Bonfires: Children's Games, 'Beer Pong', and Gastronomy

The party doesn't stop at Alicante's Bonfires. The San Blas Polygon district will celebrate this Saturday, October 19, for the sixth consecutive year, its traditional Oktoberfest at the site on Doctor Rico Avenue, its planting place.

This German festival, held in the city of Alicante, will open its doors at 6:30 PM with a program focused on families and beer lovers.

From the San Blas Polygon bonfire, they describe the event as a "festive exchange" that will immerse Alicante's citizens in the richness of this German celebration through its typical dishes and the star element, beer.

The Oktoberfest will start with a children's program aimed at the youngest in the house, who can participate in face painting workshops, interactive dances, and even a children's gymkhana.

At that time, the German beer bar will open, as well as the tasting of typical dishes. At 10 PM, the alarm will sound to announce the 'beer pong' tournament between pairs.

Attire will also be key during the Oktoberfest at the San Blas Polygon bonfire, as they have prepared a contest to reward the visitor who attends in the most Bavarian German clothing. The contest will begin at 10:30 PM this Saturday.

More prizes will be distributed during the afternoon, as the district has organized a raffle through social media, and the winners will be awarded around 8:30 PM.

From the San Blas Polygon bonfire, they encourage all citizens to come to their festive venue over the weekend to enjoy this Oktoberfest, a vibrant German festival.

The Tómbola bonfire has also prepared an Oktoberfest for this Saturday, October 19, which will start at 8 PM in Plaza del Progreso.

Other countries around the world, like Mexico, will also be present in Alicante, with a night dedicated to the Aztecs at the Carolinas Altas bonfire. It will start at the same time on Doctor Buades Street.

Popular brunches will arrive this Sunday at Alicante's Bonfires, with three proposals in the Nou Babel district at 11 AM on Mexico Street, Nou Alipark at 11:30 AM on Médico Pedro Herrero Street, and Altozano Sur at 12 PM on Olof Palme Street.
