The Bavarian beer festival on the Trani waterfront
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
Oktoberfest in Trani is the beer festival that, in just a few editions, has become one of the most anticipated autumn events in this Apulian city. The setting is the scenic Piazza Sant'Agostino (Piazza Gradenigo), overlooking the harbor and the waterfront, which for the occasion transforms into a true open-air Bavarian tent. The event is organized by the St. Augustine team, with the patronage of the Municipality of Trani.
The heart of the event is the beer: authentic Hofbräu flows in Trani, one of the six historic breweries authorized to serve during the Oktoberfest in Munich. Classic varieties are offered, from lager to Märzen-style Oktoberfest, served in traditional Maßkrug, the one-liter steins. Wooden tables and benches imported from Germany and staff in traditional Bavarian costumes faithfully recreate the atmosphere of the great Munich tents.
The gastronomic offering is one of the event's strengths, featuring a twinning between German and local traditions. Alongside the great classics of Bavarian cuisine, you will find local dishes:
Each evening is accompanied by live music and DJ sets that enliven the square until late at night, featuring covers, bands, and musical selections. The atmosphere is the convivial and carefree one typical of Oktoberfest, designed for all ages: rides are set up for the little ones, making the festival an appointment suitable for families as well.
Born in 2024, the event has quickly established itself as one of the most successful additions to the event scene in Trani and the entire Barletta-Andria-Trani province in Puglia. Thanks to its central location, just a stone's throw from the Cathedral and the harbor, Oktoberfest in Trani combines the beer festival with the discovery of one of the most beautiful seaside towns in the region.
The dates for the 2026 edition of Oktoberfest in Trani have not yet been announced. The event, which has consolidated its position in recent seasons, traditionally takes place in Piazza Sant'Agostino between late September and early October. As soon as the organization publishes the official calendar, this page will be updated with dates, the musical program, and details on the gastronomic offerings.
The event is held in Piazza Sant'Agostino (Piazza Gradenigo), in the historic center of Trani, a few steps from the harbor and the Cathedral.
