Calpe’s Oktoberfesters is expected to return in October 2026, but the official dates and programme haven’t been announced yet.
Recent editions have taken place at the Parc de la Creativitat, with German beer, food, live bands and DJs continuing late into the night. It’s a ten-minute walk from my place, and the atmosphere on the nights I’ve caught it has been brilliant.
This page will be updated when the 2026 dates, opening times and line-up are confirmed. Until then, the 2025 programme gives the clearest idea of what the event is like.

Is There an Oktoberfest in Calpe
Yes, but there are two events that often get confused.
Calpe has hosted Oktoberfesters at the Parc de la Creativitat in recent years.
The long-running Oktoberfest organised by Creativ Club Calpe is now held in La Nucía. It moved there in 2021 but still appears in search results under the Calpe name.
This article covers Oktoberfesters in Calpe.
It isn’t a strict recreation of Munich’s Oktoberfest. The German theme remains, but the entertainment is built mainly around party bands, cover acts and DJs.
What Oktoberfesters Calpe Is Like
Oktoberfesters is closer to a music and food event with an Oktoberfest theme than a traditional Bavarian beer festival.
People gather around tables, with food and drinks, watch the live performers and stay as the programme moves into late DJ sessions.
Expect Paulaner beer, pretzels, food stalls, raffles, live bands and DJs finishing at 3 am, based on recent years. I’ve always found the food stalls sell out faster than you’d think, so I wouldn’t leave eating until midnight.
Most people attend in normal clothes. Bavarian outfits may appear, but lederhosen and dirndls aren’t expected.
Arriving earlier gives more time to eat, find a table and hear the live acts. The atmosphere becomes louder once the bands finish and the DJs take over.
What Happened at Oktoberfesters Calpe 2025
The 2025 edition took place at Parc de la Creativitat on Wednesday 8, Friday 10 and Saturday 11 October.
Don Ewaldo and Marise Fox performed across all three nights. The wider line-up included Gran Babylon Fem, Menphis, DJ Varela, DJ Ruslana and Javi Más.

The event also promoted German beer, pretzels, other food, raffles and surprises during each night.
The programme was aimed at a broad local and international crowd, with the German theme built around party music rather than traditional Bavarian entertainment.
Is Oktoberfesters Suitable for Families
That depends on the time of day.
Earlier editions have included inflatables, children’s entertainment, daytime food events and family activities. The 2025 edition focused more heavily on evening music and DJs.
A daytime session can work well for families. A programme continuing until 3 am is a different event once the night gets going, and not one I’d plan a young child’s evening around.
The 2026 timetable will confirm whether family activities return.
Where Oktoberfesters Is Held
The Parc de la Creativitat has hosted the last few editions.
The venue isn’t on the Arenal Bol or La Fossa promenades and isn’t in Plaza Mayor. It’s the same large event space used for concerts and festivals like Calpe Pop.
There’s room for a stage, communal tables, food and drink service and family activities when they form part of the programme.
The 2026 venue still needs to be confirmed, but Parc de la Creativitat is the location used for the latest editions.
Calpe Oktoberfest or La Nucía Oktoberfest
Oktoberfesters Calpe
This is the local Calpe event held in recent years at Parc de la Creativitat.
Expect German beer and food alongside party bands, cover acts and DJs.
Creativ Club Oktoberfest in La Nucía
This is the long-running German Oktoberfest that used to take place in Calpe.
The 2026 edition is scheduled for 1 to 11 October in La Nucía.
It has a stronger German and Bavarian identity, with a large beer-tent format and more traditional entertainment.
Anyone looking for the historic Calpe Oktoberfest should now look at La Nucía. Anyone looking for Oktoberfesters at Parc de la Creativitat should wait for Calpe’s separate 2026 announcement. I still think of the La Nucía version as “the Calpe one” out of habit, which tells you how recent the split still feels locally.
Final Verdict
Oktoberfesters gives Calpe an October event centred on German beer, food and live entertainment.
The 2026 programme hasn’t been announced yet. The 2025 edition gives a useful idea of the format, but this year’s dates and performers may be different.
For the traditional Creativ Club event, Oktoberfest 2026 takes place in La Nucía from 1 to 11 October.
