The 10th annual Beerfest at the Okere Falls Store will be held next week and staff are prepared for a jam-packed festival.

Beerfest runs from Monday until Saturday, with each night hosting different bands and themes.

Okere Falls Store owner Sarah Uhl said she was excited and expected it to be a crazy week.

"Saturday is completely sold out and Friday is filling up fast so we are expecting it to be as busy, if not busier than previous years," she said.

It will kick off on Monday with hospitality night with DJ Danley Vince on music, which Mrs Uhl said should be a good way to start the week.

"Hospitality staff usually work all weekend so we thought it would be a good chance for them to get out and have a good time," she said.

Wednesday night will feature the Trio Mantis Latin Jazz band as well as a beer taste tester for customers, set up by award-winning brewer Andrew Childs from Behemoth Brewing Company.

The week will end with the Saturday's soldout event, which will feature multiple musical acts, including the Guggemusik carnival band from Auckland.

"Much of the week will be very family-oriented but Saturday is shaping up to be for the adults," Mrs Uhl said.

There will be beer on tap imported from Germany as well as a Good George Brewery caravan on site.

Monday to Thursday will be free entry but tickets are still available for Friday night at the store or at okerefallsstore.co.nz.
