Prosecco Wiesn

Starting at 1pm this Prosecco party is our favourite way to break up the steins and sausages (ahem) – get there early to make sure you get in.
Enjoy another ruckus of a tent take over, but this time with a little bit more glam….graciously provided with a dynamite amount of local drag talent serving up some serious looks to go with all the glorious drinks!
When: 1 pm – Monday, September 30
Where: Fischer Vroni Tent
