With upbeat music, festive dances and dazzling fireworks and lightshows, the annual carnivalesque Qingdao International Beer Festival came to an end on Aug 27 at its main venue in Huangdao district.

Highly renowned singers and performance groups including the US funk band The Strike, Chinese rock band Black Panther and Taiwan rocker Dick and Cowboy livened up the night with vibrant performances at the Golden Beach Beer City, marking the closing ceremony for this year's Oktoberfest in the Chinese coastal city.

Millions of local residents and visitors from both home and abroad took part in the 24-day-long bacchanal carnival, during which an extravaganza of high-end art and cultural activities, performances, drinking competitions, fireworks, light shows and masquerades were staged to entertain the audience, including the Qingdao West Coast Music Season and the Eurochestries Festival, as well as the Fifth International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP) Photo Meeting.

According to the organizing committee, the Golden Beach Beer City received more than 100,000 visitors during its peak days. The beer festival has generated a boom in local tourism, hotel and catering industry.
