Oktoberfest Cilento will return to Agropoli from Friday 2 October through Sunday 11 October 2026 for its second edition, bringing ten days of Bavarian-inspired food, beer and live entertainment to the Cilento coast.

The venue is the Area Mercatale, listed at Via Sandro Pertini in Agropoli. Organisers plan a covered tent of approximately 2,000 square metres with around 1,500 seats, according to the event listings.

The festival is presented as a beer festival combining Bavarian food, beer, music and social entertainment. For the 2025 first edition, the article reports approximately 30,000 attendees; that figure is reported as an organiser-related number rather than an independently audited count.

Opening ceremony and opening hours

The opening of the beer barrel is scheduled for 2 October at 18:30, with the traditional "O'zapft is!" ceremony.

The event is open in the evening throughout the ten-day period, generally from 19:00, and also offers lunch service on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00. Visitors should check the official website, oktoberfestcilento.it, and event channels before travelling, as the programme, performers, opening times and menu may change before October 2026.

What to eat and drink

Food offerings include Bavarian-style pork knuckle, chicken, schnitzel, sausages, pretzels, sauerkraut, potato dishes and desserts. Listings also name Löwenbräu beer among the planned pours.

The combination of evening openings plus Saturday and Sunday lunch openings gives visitors two distinct formats: evening service alongside the music programme, and midday service on weekends.

Music every night

The published live programme includes a concert every evening at 20:30, followed by DJ sets from 23:00.
