Colombo has four nights to let loose as Oktoberfest arrives at City of Dreams Sri Lanka, bringing the unmistakable spirit of Bavaria to The Podium from 21 to 24 October 2026.

Powered by Commercial Bank, this year's celebration promises hearty Bavarian fare, delicious beverages and live music that keeps the energy high, creating the perfect setting for friends, colleagues and partygoers to come together for a celebration that calls for another round.

Headlining the festivities is Slipping Chairs, who will be playing exclusively at City of Dreams Sri Lanka this Oktoberfest season and will take the stage on every one of the four nights.

Each evening, they will be joined by a different act, giving guests a fresh line-up every night. Cold Sweat opens the celebrations alongside Slipping Chairs on 21st October, followed by Black on 22 October and Pop Culture on 23 October, before Magic Box Mix Up Joins Slipping Chairs for the grand finale on 24 October.

Beyond the live performances, the Oktoberfest experience brings together the flavours, drinks and lively atmosphere that make the celebration memorable. Guests can savour a sumptuous Bavarian buffet featuring Oktoberfest favourites such as crispy Schweinshaxe pork knuckle, grilled Leberkäse and German sausages, including Weisswurst and Cheese Krainer.

Obatzda cheese dip served with freshly baked pretzels adds to the spread, while classic Apfelstrudel provides a fitting finish to the meal. Generous brews and the buzz of The Podium complete the experience, creating an inviting setting to unwind after work or enjoy an evening of Oktoberfest celebrations.

Oktoberfest at City of Dreams brings a taste of Bavaria to Colombo’s destination of choice, combining authentic flavours, a generous buffet and live performances in a vibrant setting that captures the spirit of the celebration.
