Raise a stein and join us for a lively Oktoberfest Celebration, where tradition, flavour, and camaraderie come together for one unforgettable evening at the Culinary Federation conference. Inspired by the rich German heritage that runs deep in Waterloo Region, this festive gathering invites chefs and culinary professionals to relax, connect, and celebrate in true Oktoberfest style.

The evening begins with the ceremonial keg tapping, setting the tone for a night of good cheer and great food. From there, guests will enjoy a traditional country-style dinner that pays homage to classic Oktoberfest fare. The menu features hearty favourites including flaky sausage rolls, a comforting pierogi station, golden schnitzel, savoury cabbage rolls, and buttery spaetzel, all prepared to satisfy and delight. To finish on a sweet note, indulge in warm apple strudel, a timeless dessert that perfectly rounds out the meal.

Whether you’re reconnecting with colleagues, meeting new friends, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this celebration offers the perfect balance of tradition and fun.
