California’s largest Oktoberfest celebration returns this weekend! The festival, now in its 12th year, celebrates German culture and pays homage to the Munich festival of the same name with fine cuisine, music, and entertainment.
If anything, Oktoberfest is really just a celebration of sheer gluttony and indulgence, with beers provided by Spatan and a smorgasbord of food, as well as “sizzling oompah music.”
Running Friday-Sunday, the event includes two separate sessions on Saturday to “provide access and an all-around better experience (shorter lines, more seating, etc.)” organizers say.
Tickets (which start at $25 for general admission) and more information can be found at at oktoberfestbythebay.com.
