ABOUT HARVEST HAUS

Entering its 7th year, Harvest Haus is Vancouver’s largest Oktoberfest event. Specializing in authentic European beers and local crafts (brewed in a European style), Harvest Haus proudly serves all libations including spirits, cider, and is launching our new ‘winegarten’ section! 

There is nothing quite like the energy of Harvest Haus. Each sitting is 5 hours of merrymaking for 1,250 guests, boisterously hosted by our legendary ‘Burgermeister’ and a cast of supporting characters. From impromptu 700-person conga lines in lederhosen to our legendary beer pong olympics - the Stein Games, Harvest Haus promises a premium experience with a casual vibe. Our guests can’t help but cut loose and high-five as they go on a journey of taste, sight and sound - each one walking out with a big smile and great memories.

THE ENTERTAINMENT

Harvest Haus goes well beyond the authentic Bavarian cuisine and the German biers. Part of what makes it so unique is each sitting’s complete hospitality and interactive entertainment program. Starting with a keg-tapping ceremony led by the ‘Burgermeister’ along with a cast of colourful and often hilarious characters, a traditional Harvest Haus sitting is like Oktoberfest remixed. From traditional Oompah bands and Alpenhorns to high energy DJ sets featuring iconic sign-a-long crowd favourites, there are few atmospheres this much fun.

VIP TABLES + CORPORATE HOSPITALITY

These are the hottest tickets in the Harvest Haus Halle! The first to sell-out each year, the VIP section has expanded to both flank and overlook the hands in the air and ‘Ein Prosit!’ stein cheers. Complete with an exclusive elevated food and beverage program, the VIP section also has its own signature custom Harvest Haus edition beer - collaboratively designed just for the experience. From the reserved seating to the clear lines of sight to the main centre stage, the elevated VIP section puts you just above the crowd while the reserved inner ring dance area will keep guests rocking in the heart of the action.
