Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest Prepares To Celebrate Final Weekend!

The 37th annual Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest is in full swing and will continue through this Saturday, October 27th. All activities will take place as scheduled (See Activity Schedule).

Currently, both Hwy 38 through Redlands and Hwy. 18 through Lucerne Valley and the High Desert are open and clear!

Skies in the Big Bear Valley are crystal clear blue and there is no threat of fire to Big Bear. The winds are starting to subside and are blowing from the Northeast - away from Big Bear Lake.

Pre-sale tickets are still available for this coming weekend! We'll see you at Oktoberfest! Prosit!

Herzliche Grusse aus Big Bear Lake

Greetings From Big Bear Lake

Escape the everyday and join us for the hospitality, laughter and camaraderie that has made the Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest world famous!

Commemorate the traditions of a simpler era. A time when family and friends offered happiness and enjoyment. The Big Bear's Oktoberfest has been rated the #1 Oktoberfest in Southern California and one of the top ten Oktoberfest celebrations in the entire United States.

This year's event once again brings together a very special extended family and we invite you to join that family. The 37th annual Oktoberfest features one of the top regional bands from Germany. Die Treppensteiger will perform for three weekends - September 22 & 23 through October 6 & 7. We also welcome the return of the Big Bear Lake Polka Tots, the Express Band and all the same zany antics that have made Big Bear's celebration Southern California's favorite Oktoberfest.

We've teamed-up with Snow Valley Mountain Resort to bring two seasons of fun to Oktoberfest visitors. This year receive a free Snow Valley lift ticket with every Oktoberfest admission. Or, pre-purchase the Burgermeister Party Pack on line and save up to 20%. Other things to look forward to include an expanded German menu, the new Cafe Americana, and Jagermeister Happy Hour with new Jager Bombers! It's more fun, food and entertainment!

From our family to yours, Ein Prosit!
