Join the legendary Hacker Herren in the Hacker Festzelt for the middle weekend of 2026, where over 100 fine gentlemen will once again raise steins and eyebrows. This marks the 34th anniversary of our first Oktoberfest invasion, with Ken “Hasselhoff” Bloom toasting his 30th appearance. Our crew is a wild blend of young bucks and “seasoned” veterans hailing from across the US, with big contingents from the SF Bay Area, Chicago, Cincinnati, and an ever-growing Floridian faction. Over 600 have pledged allegiance to the cause, forming a brotherhood that spans guys in thier first jobs, first responders, military heroes, business moguls, craftsmen, executives, and basically every other character you’d expect at a festival fueled by beer and bravado. Cheers to tradition, camaraderie, and questionable dance moves!
