The Oktoberfest of Brianza: Bavarian beer, German bands, and a big tent in July
The Misinto Bier Fest is the great Bavarian-style beer festival that has enlivened Misinto, a municipality in the province of Monza and Brianza, for almost thirty years. Considered one of the largest events of its kind in Italy, it reproduces the atmosphere of the Munich Oktoberfest under a huge tent, on Via del Cavo, attracting around 55,000 visitors each year.
The absolute star is Kulmbacher beer, the official supplier of the festival, served in steins along with a full Bavarian-style menu: pork knuckle, sausages, würstel, sauerkraut, and all the traditional German specialties. An abundant and convivial gastronomic offering, designed to be enjoyed at the long tables in the tent, amidst toasts and songs.
The musical soul of the Misinto Bier Fest is its traditional German bands, such as Die Wilderer, who bring typical Oktoberfest music to the stage. Alongside them, evenings of live music and tribute bands dedicated to great Italian artists like Vasco Rossi and 883, for a program that alternates Bavarian folklore and popular entertainment.
Organized by the GAM E20 association, the Misinto Bier Fest has become a fixed event of the Brianza summer, capable of drawing a vast audience from all over Lombardy. For Misinto, it is a source of pride and identity: an event that combines Bavarian tradition with the typical desire for togetherness found in village festivals, albeit on an extraordinary scale.
The 2026 edition of the Misinto Bier Fest is spread over three weekends in July: from July 2nd to 5th, from July 9th to 12th, and from July 16th to 18th, on Thursday to Sunday evenings, opening from 6:00 PM to midnight. The large tent on Via del Cavo once again hosts the largest Oktoberfest in Brianza.
