What to wear for the Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano – Argentina.

Here at Hostel Tinktinkie, we always tell our customers that dressing up for the Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano is a must! By dressing up I don´t mean you have to rent clothes but there are three items that you need, to complete your outfit.

A Chop or beer mug.

There are many different ones for sale: ceramic-,wooden and metal chops. The ceramic chops are beautiful and come in a variety of colours. From experience we have learnt that the metal and wooden chops work better. The metal chops keep the beer cold and they do not break easily.

Many people buy the ceramic mugs but after a couple of toasts the chop is in pieces. We have a souvenir in our kitchen.

A feathered hat or gorra.

The hats are adorable and come in many different colours. They add a touch of colour to any outfit. I really like the feathered hats and it makes me smile when I walk in the street and see the feathers waving in the wind. All the hats have been handmade and it is a great way to support the local community.

Beer clip or cinta.

This is an essential and practical item for the Oktoberfest. You can clip your chop to this belt and you have your hands free. Let´s call it a hands-free-kit!

Each year we explain to the groups at the hostel how to prepare for the Oktoberfest and what is required. It is great to see the excitement and people are always looking forward to buy their chops, gorros and cintas!
