Oktoberfests

Prost, San Diego Style

Find out where you can chug a hefty stein of lager, chow down on a Bratwurst and oom-pah-pah to your heart's content at Oktoberfests in San Diego County.

So Fun You Might Discover a Passion for Polka

San Diego is known for beautiful weather, beaches and beer (among lots of other awesome qualities). Those things come together in various celebratory combinations every fall with the fun-filled Oktoberfest events that unfold all over the San Diego region.

From the streets of Downtown's East Village to the beachside neighborhoods of OB, Carlsbad and Encinitas, revelers hoist beer steins, dance to polka tunes, savor grilled bratwurst and other traditional German fare, and toast San Diego's balmy autumn.

There's an Oktoberfest here to satisfy every celebrant — from La Mesa's (the area's largest Oktoberfest) to El Cajon's (deemed Most Authentic) to Julian's (where you can mark the occasion at significant elevation in this charming mountain town).

Local Oktoberfests kick off in late September and continue until mid-October. Check back here in August for more details on all the Oktoberfest happenings around San Diego!
