fter the rip-roaring success of last year’s Pink Oktoberfest, the celebration returns to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for a day of Bavarian boozing and queer frivolities.
The unique fusion will see all the usual beer-by-the-stein-full, German grub, lederhosens and oompah bands topped with a serious sprinkling of LGBTQ+ fairy dust.

The event’s organiser Rebecca Paisis is a London-born LGBT+ nightlife entrepreneur who also runs Winter Pride.
