DURING HARVEST HAUS
The ‘Pre-Scan’ will begin 30-minutes before the doors open. This means that you can arrive up to 30-minutes early, have your ticket scanned, collect your stein and your gülden and be ready to walk in when the doors open, the moment they do. Please be aware there are no bathroom facilities outside the venue and no one will be permitted to enter before the start of the event.
Doors will open at 6PM for sittings.
We encourage all guests to arrive as early as possible. There are many details and theatrical moments throughout the entire time that you will not want to miss, including the official keg tapping. Beyond this, for those not in VIP table area, we recommend arriving as soon as doors open to grab a space at our standing bars.
Harvest Haus is a 19+ event. You must be ready to show two pieces of government issued ID to enter the Halle.
The entrance to Harvest Haus is located facing East Hastings. The South doors of the Forum is where you enter.
In proper tradition, all guests must drink from our custom-created ceramic steins. Each guest will receive one upon entering and can take it home, if they wish. Don’t break it… a replacement stein is $10!
The most important part of Harvest Haus is that you have FUN. We’ll have the traditional German inspired band The Oktoberators, DJ Michael Tedham, and the Burgermeister to lead you through all the autumn traditions, including the traditional keg tapping, and exciting Bavarian games to play with all your friends at the long table.
Chanting, PROST-ing, and dancing is highly encouraged and greatly celebrated at all Harvest Haus sittings.
