Hilton celebrates Oktoberfest
OKTOBERFEST 2025 is in full swing, and Newport World Resorts is transforming the Hilton Manila into a Bavarian haven from Oct. 8 to 11. The fest promises four nights of overflowing Weihenstephan beer, live performances by Austria’s AnTon Showband, and a grand Bavarian buffet prepared by the culinary team of Newport World Resorts. Begin the night with a plate full of Bavarian flavors — pretzels, sausages, schnitzel, pork knuckle, and Spaetzle. Beer from Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery, carries a fuller body and stronger kick than most local brews. Tickets are available at P5,500 net for one chosen date between Oct. 8 and 11 through newportworldresorts.com/oktoberfest-2025.
