This brochure is designed for Group Tours only – in addition to providing information on
accommodations, meals, tours and local attractions, it features special pricing for Group Tours visiting
the Festhallen. Additional information on our accredited Festhallen and events can be found on our
website. www.oktoberfest.ca
Guaranteed Arrival Time (GAT) is one of the most important guidelines for our success in
accommodating so many people. We try to make room for everyone to join the party! Be on time
…advance ticket holders have a specific period of time (GAT) that they are allowed to enter once the many
Festhallen open. GAT’s vary, so be sure to check the time on our Festhallen tickets. People who have not
purchased advance tickets often wait in line to gain admission, and after the GAT, if the halle is not filled to
capacity, they are allowed to enter. Any pre-sold tickets are still honoured after the GAT, but NOW You
must wait in line! All festhallen are advised of group arrival times. Groups have areas of specific seating –
You Are Special!
Dress Code – Clean and casual, and Bavarian Tracht of course! Proper footwear is a must everywhere!
Bring a sweater or a jacket for cooler temperatures!
It is difficult to predict weather for the Festival – 2005 was cold and windy, 2008 was sunny and
warm! 2011? Watch your local weather station for an up-to-date forecast!

The Alpine Club was founded in 1953 by members originating from
Gottschee, Austria and Germany when they settled in the Kitchener-Waterloo
area. The Alpine Club maintains and nurtures its traditions of speaking
Gottscheerisch, German and English not only during Kitchener-Waterloo
Oktoberfest, but throughout the year. As one of the best known GermanCanadian Clubs, the cozy atmosphere combined with our delicious cooked
meals, entertainment by ethnic German dance groups and great music – the Alpine Club is a very popular
choice on any of the nine days of Gemuetlichkeit during Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest. There is no
typical crowd at the Alpine Club – you will find the patrons range from University students to senior
citizens and everything in between. Famous far and wide for our apple strudel made by our ladies in the
Club – there is something for everyone at the Alpine Club! Neat, casual dress or tracht. Capacity 400.
