Estepona Oktoberfest
The German beer festival returns to the seafront promenade, by the Mirador del Carmen, from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 October: German food, beer and eight free concerts, with a Queen tribute on the first night.
Estepona's Oktoberfest returns to the seafront promenade this autumn, around the Mirador del Carmen, from Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 October 2026. It runs for four days, one more than in 2025, when it went from Friday to Sunday.
It is the German community's celebration within 'Compartiendo Culturas', the town's programme that brings the traditions of the foreign communities living in Estepona closer to locals and visitors. Beer, German food and live music right by the beach, free to enter and open to everyone.
Opening hours: Thursday 22, 6:00 pm to midnight. Friday 23 and Saturday 24, 12:00 pm to midnight. Sunday 25, 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Thursday 22: Dance & Dreams at 8:00 pm and, at 10:00 pm, Queen of Magic, a Queen tribute.
Friday 23: Eliza Handley (pop and rock) at 8:00 pm and The Killer Rockets (rock) at 10:00 pm.
Saturday 24: Blue Solis (pop and rock) at 3:30 pm, DJ Toulalan playing all-time hits at 8:00 pm and Money Makers (pop and rock) at 10:00 pm.
Sunday 25: Eliza Handley plays again at 3:30 pm, for a long Sunday lunch by the sea.
Saturday is the longest day: it opens at midday and strings three acts together until midnight. If you are going with children, weekend afternoons are the best time.
Four days of German beer and music by the beach, from Thursday's Queen tribute to Sunday's long lunch: the easiest plan for an autumn weekend in the town centre.
