MGM kicked Oktoberfest Macau at MGM 2018 at MGM COTAI on Thursday. Marking its 10th Anniversary, this traditional German event – one of the most popular social events on the Macau calendar since its launch – is being hosted at MGM’s newest integrated resort, MGM COTAI, for the first time in 2018.
Oktoberfest Macau at MGM 2018 is held in cooperation with the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Hong Kong and Macao and the German Macau Business Association, with the continued support of the Macao Government Tourism Office.
The event was officially kicked off with a beer keg tapping by Dr Alexis Tam, Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture of the Macao SAR, while MGM Co-Chairperson and Executive Director Pansy Ho extended her appreciation to the government departments, other supporting units and guests for their overwhelming support to the Oktoberfest Macau at MGM.
“The Oktoberfest Macau at MGM is marking its 10th anniversary at the Macao Year of Gastronomy,” she said. “Over the past decade, it has become a talk-of-the-town event in Macau every October.
“As a food-and-wine themed event featuring culture and heritage, the Oktoberfest Macau demonstrates the synergies between gastronomy, creativity, culture and tourism, elevating Macau as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. With Macau’s competitive advantages of unique culture and tourism, we will continue to offer more diversified experiences, and we look forward to creating more signature events to our guests.”
Munich’s Högl Fun Band returns to Oktoberfest Macau in 2018, while MGM will introduce the first-ever Industry Day in the afternoon of 20 October, welcoming all employees from the hospitality industry to party with friends and family.
Macau Oktoberfest at MGM 2018 will run from 18 to 29 October 2018 at MGM COTAI’s 1/F Roof Terrace.
