Europe’s Beer Festivals 2027: Full Calendar (with Confirmed 2026 Dates)

Most European beer festivals do not announce next year’s dates until 6–12 months out, so in July 2026 the honest answer for "[festival] 2027" is usually "not yet announced" — but two festivals already have real, sourced 2027 dates, and this page leads with them rather than guessing at the rest.

Quick answer

For every other festival below, we give the confirmed 2026 date (where one exists) and the historical pattern for 2027 — clearly labelled as a pattern, not a confirmed date — so you can plan roughly and know exactly when to check back for the real one.

This calendar is the forward-looking twin of our 2026 beer festival guide, which covers Belgrade Beer Fest, Oktoberfest and the rest in full for this year.

The two festivals that already have confirmed 2027 dates

Oktoberfest 2027 (the 192nd Wiesn) runs Saturday 18 September – Sunday 3 October 2027 on the Theresienwiese in Munich. This follows the festival’s own long-standing rule — roughly 16 days, ending on the first Sunday of October, extended to 3 October (German Unity Day) when that Sunday falls earlier in the month — and is already published on our dedicated Oktoberfest guide, so we link to it here rather than repeating it.

Beer Geek Madness, an invitational craft-beer festival run by Wrocław’s Browar Stu Mostów brewery at the Czasoprzestrzeń venue, already has its 2027 edition on sale: 23–24 April 2027, confirmed via a live Ticketmaster Poland listing and the organiser’s own "Beer Geek Madness wraca w 2027" ("...returns in 2027") announcement — even though the festival’s own website still shows only the 2026 edition (17–18 April 2026) at the time of writing. It is a different, smaller, invitation-and-premiere-focused event from the city’s bigger Wrocław Good Beer Festival in June, held in spring rather than summer.

Oktoberfest Brașov and Oktoberfest Budapest — full guides

These two Oktoberfest spin-offs are among the best-converting pages on the whole site — Oktoberfest Brașov alone earned 24 clicks on its Spanish-locale page, more than almost any other single Wanderistan page — but until now neither had its own guide, only an event listing. Both now have a dedicated page covering the confirmed 2026 dates in full and an honest read on 2027.

Belgrade Beer Fest — still waiting on 2026, so 2027 is a long way off

As of 27 July 2026, Belgrade Beer Fest’s official site (belgradebeerfest.com) has not published confirmed 2026 dates or a lineup — it still shows the 2025 edition. Third-party sites guess at anywhere from mid-to-late August 2026, but none are sourced to an official announcement, so we do not repeat a specific date here for 2026, let alone 2027. Historically the festival runs for about five days in August at Ušće Park, New Belgrade.

One fact worth getting right while we wait: Belgrade Beer Fest has not been a flat free-entry festival since 2023. General park access is free before roughly 19:30; after that a paid ticket is required for the evening sessions — but that ticket then bundles unlimited beer for the night rather than charging per drink. Most aggregator sites still describe it as simply "free," which is out of date.

Mediterranean and further-afield festivals — pattern only, nothing confirmed for 2027

Pafos Beer Festival (Cyprus), MEDFEST/Limassol Beer Festival (Cyprus), the Farsons Beer Festival (Malta) and the Wrocław Good Beer Festival (Poland) have not announced 2027 dates. Each has run at a consistent time of year for several years running, so the ranges in the table above are a reasonable planning guide — but none should be treated as booked-and-confirmed until the organiser publishes one for 2027.

The Great British Beer Festival, run by CAMRA, had not announced 2026 dates at the time of writing either, so we have nothing yet to project forward to 2027 — check the official CAMRA event page directly.

FAQ

Which European beer festivals already have confirmed 2027 dates?
Two, as of this writing: Oktoberfest in Munich (18 September – 3 October 2027) and Beer Geek Madness in Wrocław, Poland (23–24 April 2027). Every other major European beer festival covered here — Belgrade Beer Fest, Oktoberfest Brașov, Oktoberfest Budapest, Pafos Beer Festival, MEDFEST, Farsons and the Great British Beer Festival — had not announced 2027 dates at the time of writing.
When is Oktoberfest 2027?
Saturday 18 September – Sunday 3 October 2027 (the 192nd Wiesn) on the Theresienwiese in Munich — already confirmed and published, following the festival’s standard ~16-day rule ending on the first Sunday of October.
Is there a Belgrade Beer Fest 2027?
Almost certainly the festival will return, since it runs annually, but as of 27 July 2026 the organiser had not even confirmed 2026 dates yet, so no 2027 date exists to report. Check our Belgrade Beer Fest event page once the organiser announces.
When is Beer Geek Madness 2027?
23–24 April 2027 in Wrocław, Poland — confirmed via an active Ticketmaster Poland listing and the organiser’s own social announcement, ahead of most other 2027 European beer festival dates.
Is beer fest 2027 the same as beer fest 2026?
No single festival is literally named "Beer Fest 2027" — the query covers the 2027 editions of festivals like Belgrade Beer Fest, Oktoberfest and Pafos Beer Festival. Most of those have not set 2027 dates yet; see the calendar above for what is confirmed today.
