A SLICE OF GERMAN IN THE HEART OF THE CAPITAL
WILLKOMMEN, WELCOME!
If you cherish Austrian, German and Swiss culture like we do, prepare to dive into Canberra German Week 2026. While we love celebrating our beloved Oktoberfest Canberra for decades, as established by the Jennings brothers, our festival showcases that the German-speaking community encompasses so much more than just “beer and lederhosen” but we'll always order "ein Bier, bitte!" at Oktoberfest Canberra!
​
Unleash your inner Germanophile - it’s waiting to be discovered!
A Big Thank You to Our Sponsors
Canberra's German Week wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our German, Swiss, Austrian and ACT Government partners. Thanks for helping us build bridges between our communities, year after year.
This year's festival is delivered by our host partners Harmonie German Club and the Spielwelt German Parents Association. It is also supported by cultural partners including the German Embassy Canberra, ACT German Language School and Das Zentrum, Australian-German Institute Inc and many, many more!
Herzlichen Dank - a Heartfelt Thanks!
Our team can’t wait to bring a little slice of culture back to Canberra this year.
”We can't wait to welcome you for another year!"
See you in 2026!!
"As the German Ambassador to Australia, I am delighted to support the Canberra German Week for the third time as it grows from strength to strength."
