The world-class Germany-based band, Anton Show, returns and will perform original German Octoberfest music in keeping with the tradition.

“We are privileged to have the opportunity of bringing back once again the Clark Marriott Octoberfest after launching it back in 2019,” said Goeran Soelter, Clark Marriott Hotel General Manager. “Unlike the last one, this year will see a bigger and better celebration with the new venue being at the Clark Parade Grounds.”

And like any genuine Octoberfest, partygoers will be treated to sumptuous German cuisine as well as authentic German brew courtesy of Weihenstephaner

“This year’s celebration is our way of welcoming back Clark Marriott Hotel’s loyal customers while reinforcing the ties that bind the brand to our customers since we’ve opened here in Clark,” said Soelter.
