Oktoberfest Valdespartera 2026 will be held this year from October 9 to 25 at the Fairgrounds. For more than two weeks, the well-known tent will once again bring together German beer, food and live music at an event that has already become a classic October fixture in Zaragoza.
As part of this schedule, organizers had set several dates requiring paid admission, mainly coinciding with the first days of the 2026 Fiestas del Pilar and the following weekend. Specifically, tickets are required to enter on October 9, 10, 11, 16 and 17. On the remaining days, according to the schedule published by Oktoberfest Valdespartera, admission will be free until capacity is reached.
FREE-ENTRY DAYS AT OKTOBERFEST VALDESPARTERA 2026
Those who did not manage to get tickets for Oktoberfest 2026 will therefore have many other opportunities to visit the Valdespartera tent. Oktoberfest will offer free entry on October 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25, meaning there will be a total of 12 days when it will not be necessary to buy a ticket to enter the venue.
Among these free days at Oktoberfest, Monday, October 12, Pilar Day, stands out as one of the central days of Zaragoza's festivities. Free entry will also be available on Thursday, October 15 and, once the second weekend with paid admission has ended, every day from Sunday, October 18 through Sunday, October 25, when Oktoberfest Valdespartera 2026 will close.
That said, free admission does not guarantee entry at any time. Access will depend on the tent's available capacity, so on the busiest days it may be necessary to wait until space becomes available inside.
OKTOBERFEST VALDESPARTERA 2026 OPENING HOURS
Oktoberfest Valdespartera will open every day at 6:00 p.m., although closing times will vary depending on the day. On October 9, 10 and 11, it will remain open until 4:00 a.m.; from October 12 to 15, until 3:00 a.m.; on October 16 and 17, until 4:00 a.m.; and from October 18 to 22, until 1:00 a.m.
The final weekend will once again extend the opening hours: on October 23 and 24, it will close at 3:00 a.m., while on Sunday, October 25, the final day of Oktoberfest 2026, the celebration will end at midnight. This means that even those who missed out on one of the coveted Oktoberfest tickets will have several dates to enjoy the tent for free during and after the 2026 Fiestas del Pilar.
