Into the equation of fun and frolic, Cinnamon Grand will be serving authentic German cuisine including a range of German sausages, pretzels, pork knuckles, ham, slow-cooked ribs and for the sweet tooth apple strudel and Bavarian ice cream. German hostesses in traditional dirndl and lederhosen will be in attendance with a wide selection of beverages to suit every discerning palate and keeping the party-goers in good spirits.
Adding more to the spirit and feel of Bavaria will be the Bavarian Party Band entertaining the merrymakers on all five days with Sri Lanka’s top bands Redeemers, OIC, Magic Box, Slipping Chairs and Misty helping keep the festive spirit in constant motion with toes tapping, hips swaying, hands clapping and voices in full swing.
Golden sands and balmy breezes form the perfect tropical backdrop to the fiesta which also has plans for an entire gamut of traditional Oktoberfest games promising to keep the adrenaline flowing as competition reigns high.
