Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest California’s #1 Oktoberfest Is In Full Swing
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest celebrates 41 years of German style family fun and good times this year. Rated Southern California’s #1 Oktoberfest, this Fall’s festival offers even more authentic German entertainment than in years past. Back by popular demand, Die Mainfloesser Band from Germany and new this year, Die Trachten Verein Traunstoana dance group from Austria. Die Mainfloesser band stole the show during last year’s Oktoberfest, performing a unique blend of traditional German, contemporary German and American music. The Trachten Verein Traunstoana dancers hail from Abtenau, Austria, Big Bear Lake’s sister city and perform traditional Austrian folk dances.
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest provides an excuse to enjoy a weekend away from the stress and obligations of everyday life in a beautiful alpine setting. The festival takes place high in the San Bernardino
