Hill Dickinson Stadium, home of Everton FC, is set to host Docktoberfest, a fun-packed festival of beer, food, live music, and entertainment inspired by the world's largest folk festival. Taking place on Saturday, October 3, Village Street will be transformed into a Bavarian-inspired celebration.
Five Venues, One Big Celebration
Five interconnected venues will host live brass bands, DJs, bratwurst and pretzels, beer tasting, karaoke, and VIP dining, all part of a nine-hour waterfront festival. The venues are Kendall's Social, The Queen's Head, Domingos, The Prince Rupert, and Dixie's by Budweiser.
The free-to-roam format allows guests to move between the venues throughout the afternoon and evening, each offering its own food, drink, and entertainment experience.
What Each Venue Offers
At the centre of the celebrations, Kendall's Social will become Docktoberfest's main bierhalle, with a long-table festival atmosphere. Nearby, The Queen's Head will host a dedicated tasting and sampling room, offering guests the chance to try new flavours and learn about the history and heritage behind some of the beers and drinks on offer.
Domingos will provide an elevated Docktoberfest experience, offering themed multi-course meals during the afternoon before transforming into a stylish riverside cocktail lounge.
Those looking for something more animated can head to The Prince Rupert for karaoke, games, challenges, and interactive photo walls. Dixie's by Budweiser will become a Bavarian food hall, with pretzel carts, bakery favourites, and a haven of hot dogs serving everything from frankfurters to bratwursts.
Main Strasse and Entertainment
Connecting each venue will be Main Strasse, transformed into a lively Bavarian-themed thoroughfare packed with activations, entertainment, and surprises throughout the day.
Docktoberfest runs from 1pm until 10pm on Saturday, October 3. Live entertainment on the main stage includes:
- 1pm - 3.45pm: Fat Cat Brass, a local high-energy brass band, will open the festival.
- 4pm - 6.45pm: Ivy League Oompah, a dynamic live oompah set bringing a festival soundtrack from London to Village Street.
