Taybeh Oktoberfest to rock the West Bank this weekend

Nadim Khoury and David Khoury, co-founders of Taybeh Brewing Company, announce the 14th annual Taybeh Oktoberfest will take place at the Taybeh Brewery, on Saturday and Sunday, September 8 & 9, from 1 pm until 11 pm on both days.

The festival has been a unique and traditional event in the region since 2005 when it was initiated collaboratively with the community while David Khoury was serving as mayor of Taybeh. The 1 pm opening on Saturday, September 8, will feature Hungarian Music with Live Act Folk, fusion of Hungarian folk songs, modern jazz and beatbox; Raya Palestinian Dance Troup and Special guest Aldo Brasil, singer & composer from Brazil.

“Taybeh Oktoberfest is a distinctive way to promote Palestinian culture and heritage not just the first micro-brewed beer in the Middle East and the new boutique wines with the Nadim label. Music groups in past years from Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil and many others countries reflected a musical cultural exchange,” stated David Khoury.

Master Brewer Canaan Khoury will have limited special brews released just for Oktoberfest: Arabic Coffee Nitro Stout; Shatta Ale with locally grown hot pepper; Double IPA; Spontaneous Fern aged in Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Barrel from Taybeh Winery and Palestinian Herbal Lager with za’atar, sage , sumac and anise.  The Taybeh Beer competition will continue to be a favorite with the first lady brewer of Palestine, Madees Khoury.

Entertainment will include alternative music with Ghazall from Nazareth; Bashar Murard, pop music; Zaid Hilal Band/Bethlehem, party rock with oriental flavor; Ahmed Marwan, former Arab Idol semi-finals; Rap music by Elie Kawas for new talent and Synaptik-Palestinian-Jordanian rapper. Return all-time favorites: DAM-Palestinian Hip-Hop; MINA Band – Palestinian Traditional Music w/Nazal Zanayed; Ramallah Band w/Jack Tanous and Alrowwad Cultural & Arts Society with several local dance groups.

Children’s activities: Puppet making and storytelling with Rinad: face painting with clowns; Meeting with Sponge Bob, Dora and the trolls; Henna body art (tattoos) and variety of games.  Visitors can escape the crowds and view Palestinian art exhibited at the lobby of the Taybeh Golden Hotel by prominent Palestinian artists, Sliman Mansour, Nabil Anani, and Tayseer Barakat. Taybeh Oktoberfest is the perfect way to spend your weekend in Palestine.  A camping night with campfire is a new addition to the Oktoberfest celebration.
