Every year Kim and Boris Zoulek organise the “Oktoberfest Brisbane”, one of the ten largest Oktoberfest-festivals in the world. And an institution at the Wies'n in Australia: the “Munich Buam”, an original Oktoberfest band from Bavaria under the direction of Rainer Schwedt, which is flown in every year for the two weekends of the Bavarian party from Germany.


. This weekend, the biggest German festival in Australia says goodbye until next year with 3 days of fun, German cuisine, classic German cars and many more highlights! Here at the festival grounds, the final preparations are in progress and organizer Kim Zoulek and band leader Rainer Schwedt tell us how to make some 4,000 German and Australian Oktoberfest-Go-er in lederhosen and dirndl party every night.
