Dundee will look more like Munich in November as the city braces itself for an Oktoberfest celebration.
Giant steins of beer, traditional German music and lederhosen will be the norm as revellers descend on City Square.
The cultural toast to Deutschland will see 1,500 thirsty punters drink copious amount of ale, dance to traditional German music and tuck in to Bavarian delicacies like schnitzel.
Advertised as “the party of the year”, drinkers will be able to enjoy listening to music from Bavarian musicians and bands, as well as sampling German delights such as potent alcoholic syrup, Underberg.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to rent a lederhosen or dirndl for the evening and enjoy the event “dressed like a real Bavarian”.
The Oktoberfest party has gathered something of a cult following since debuting in Britain in 2011, with annual events staged in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee attracting crowds of thousands.
The five-day celebration will run from Wednesday November 4 to Sunday 8.
The event has no affiliation to the similarly named event organised by the Rotary Club of Dundee, which donates all of its proceeds to charity.
Oktoberfest made its UK debut in London in 2011 and has since gone on to host annual events throughout the UK.
Its specially brewed beer, which organisers claim is made strictly in line with German purity law, is sold in 1.5-litre stein glasses.
The beer gets brewed only for this event and is called Bavaria festbeer.
The event itself was first held in Munich 200 years ago to celebrate successful harvests.
Since then it has become a hugely successful tourist attraction.
