Yokohama Oktoberfest 2026
Yokohama Oktoberfest turns the Red Brick Warehouse Event Square into a beer-and-music gathering. The large tent centres on German-band performances, while beer-garden booths and a lawn area offer different settings. A separate Hofbrau booth advertises full service and all-you-can-drink arrangements. Those choices are distinct from ordinary admission: choose the experience you want before treating the ¥500 entry ticket as a package.

Visitor verdict
A useful evening focus for a Yokohama waterfront day if German beer and live music are part of your trip. Choose a performance time and seating area first; the main tent and outdoor areas offer different experiences.
Practical information
- Booking status
- This event has ended. Outdated ticket and booking guidance is hidden; check the official source for a future edition.
- Access
- The venue gives walks of about six minutes from Bashamichi or Nihon-odori, 12 minutes from Minatomirai and 15 minutes from Sakuragicho via Kishamichi or from Kannai. It asks visitors to use public transport because surrounding roads and parking are expected to be congested on weekends and holidays.
- Rain
- The organizer plans to operate in rain but may close in severe weather. Check the event's operating notice before travelling, particularly if your plan depends on outdoor seating; a tent programme does not guarantee the whole event will remain open in severe conditions.
- Crowds
- Choose between the large tent, beer-garden booths and lawn before joining an area. The ordinary event hours do not guarantee a seat; reserved or full-service offers have their own conditions rather than being included with admission.
Recommended for
Visitors who want to compare German beers, hear live German-band music and spend time at the Red Brick Warehouse rather than just pass through the waterfront.
Not recommended for
Visitors expecting food, drinks or glass deposits to be included in the entrance fee, or looking for a quiet museum-like stop. The main tent is programmed around live music.
Nearby / itinerary
- Nearby spots
- The event takes place at the Red Brick Warehouse itself. Keep the warehouse visit and your event spending as separate parts of the waterfront plan; purchases inside the warehouses are not covered by the event entrance fee.
- Itinerary hint
- For the published 2026 programme, large-tent performances were listed at 13:00, 15:00, 17:00 and 20:00 on weekdays, and at 12:00, 14:30, 16:30 and 19:30 on weekends and holidays, with each set scheduled to last about 30 minutes. The opening-day listing for 18 September instead gave 17:30 and 20:00. Last orders were listed at 21:00. The timetable shows how that edition’s music and food-and-drink service were planned together: the short sets offered distinct points of focus within the longer service day, while the 21:00 last-order time marked a separate limit for purchases. The listing’s end date, 4 October 2026, has passed. These are details of the published 2026 schedule, not instructions for a current walking route, performance visit or purchase. Before any future visit to the venue, check its current calendar and any published stage and service arrangements; this record does not establish another edition or current availability.
