Heosimcheong Brau Oktoberfest

The 2026 Heosimcheong Broi Oktoberfest will be held from October 15 to October 17, 2026, at the outdoor courtyard and beer garden of Hotel Nongshim, 23 Geumganggongwon-ro 20beon-gil, Dongnae-gu, Busan. Admission is 34,000 won, with an early-bird price of 31,000 won. Information about advance ticket vendors and whether reservations are required has not yet been included in the 2026 announcement, so confirm before purchasing by calling 051-550-2511. To mark its 20th anniversary, this year's festival adopts the slogan “HAPPY ANNI-BEER-SARY” and, unlike the live band and character performances featured in the 13th-anniversary announcement in 2019, puts trot and dance performances and a beer-drinking speed contest front and center.

The 20th Heosimcheong Broi festival has a different performance lineup from the 13th

The key change this year is that it is the 20th festival in 2026. The 13th festival in 2019 featured unlimited traditional German beer, dishes prepared by the hotel's chefs, the Heosimcheong Broi live band, and character performances.

In 2026, unlimited Pils and Dunkel made by the Heosimcheong brewmaster will be served, along with live performances, trot and dance shows, and a beer-drinking speed contest. Compared with the 2024 event announcement, which introduced two varieties, Pils and Dunkel, as well as Schweinshaxe, chicken, pizza, seasonal fruit, and dried snacks, this year's program adds a 20th-anniversary slogan and a spectator-participation contest as major features.

The 2026 organizer listing includes Hotel Nongshim and Nongshim, Hotel Nongshim, Dongnae-gu, HiteJinro, and Ycoms. Since no official information confirming a change in the venue or scale has been found, it is more accurate to view this year's changes as centered on the confirmed performances and participation activities.

Since it runs from 17:00 to 22:00, a day trip is possible from accommodations in Busan

The 2026 operating hours are 17:00–22:00, and performances run from 19:00–21:00. If you want to include dinner and the performances in one itinerary, plan around 19:00 to 21:00.

The venue address is Hotel Nongshim, 23 Geumganggongwon-ro 20beon-gil, Dongnae-gu, Busan. Since transportation options and travel times from outside Busan, the nearest station, exit, or bus stop, and temporary shuttle information are not included in the 2026 materials, it is safest to enter this address exactly as written into a map app.

If you use accommodation in central Busan as your base, a day-trip itinerary is possible with the event ending at 22:00. However, travelers returning outside Busan should calculate the last available transportation and actual travel time separately. You can check the route by calling the organizers at 051-550-2511.

Drink Pils and Dunkel for 34,000 won and watch the performances at 19:00

Admission in 2026 is 34,000 won, with an early-bird price of 31,000 won. Traditional German-style craft beers, including Pils and Dunkel made by the Heosimcheong brewmaster, are available without limit.

Reference prices for food include 29,000 won each for seasonal fruit and blanched squid, 40,000 won for Schweinshaxe, 45,000 won for assorted barbecue, and 35,000 won for boneless chicken with French fries. Kielbasa sausage and arugula pizza are each 30,000 won, while yurin-gi is listed at 29,000 won.

Food prepared by the hotel chef and food stalls will operate together, and a promotional booth for Nongshim's new products will also be present. Live performances, trot, and dance shows are scheduled from 19:00 to 21:00.

The beer-drinking speed contest is planned as a consumer-participation activity, but its detailed schedule has not been released. Whether English guidance, English leaflets, or interpretation will be provided, as well as the payment methods available onsite, could not be confirmed from the publicly available 2026 information. If you particularly want to participate in contests or performances conducted in Korean, it is better to inquire first before deciding.

Ask about parking, rainy-weather policies, and accessibility first by calling 051-550-2511

The 2026 inquiry phone number is 051-550-2511. The available event information does not currently confirm the parking lot location and fees, operating, cancellation, or refund policies in rainy weather, or wheelchair and stroller access routes.

For people who simply want to drink beer quietly, the schedule may not be suitable because it includes performances and a beer-drinking speed contest from 19:00 to 21:00. Travelers with strollers or wheelchairs, and those who require English guidance, should also obtain additional information before finalizing their route onsite.

Before October 15, 2026, confirm reservation, payment, parking, and rainy-weather refund conditions by phone, then decide whether to purchase tickets.
