The Bavarian-style beer festival at the Codogno Exhibition Centre
OktBeer Fest brings the atmosphere of the great Bavarian beer festivals to Codogno, in the heart of the Basso Lodigiano in the province of Lodi. For two October weekends, the Giuseppe Vezzulli Exhibition Centre on Viale Medaglie d'Oro transforms into a large beer hall under the tent structure, with steins of beer, convivial tables, and live music.
The heart of the event is its gastronomic and brewing offering: thirteen types of draft beer accompany a menu of typical Bavarian dishes, served with convenient table service. The formula is reminiscent of Munich's Oktoberfest, adapted to the scale of a local festival in the Lodi area.
Each evening is enlivened by concerts and live performances that provide the soundtrack to the tastings, in a festive, popular atmosphere. The large, covered, and equipped space of the Exhibition Centre allows the event to be enjoyed in any weather condition.
OktBeer Fest is now a stable fixture on Codogno's autumn calendar, attracting crowds from all over the Lodi region. Beer, Bavarian cuisine, and music make it one of the most popular events of the season, just a short walk from the city center.
The 2026 edition of OktBeer Fest is scheduled, as is tradition, for two October weekends at the Giuseppe Vezzulli Exhibition Centre in Codogno. The formula remains the established one: thirteen types of draft beer, typical Bavarian dishes with table service, and live music every evening under the tent structure.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition, including precise dates and the schedule of evening concerts, will be announced by the organizers closer to the event.
In previous editions, the festival took place over two October weekends, opening on Friday evening and continuing on Saturday and Sunday, offering live music and dancing each evening to accompany the beer tasting and Bavarian dishes.
