A LIVELY VIBE WITH FUN, UPBEAT MUSIC!
Same Great Bands that Performed at Last Fall’s Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest
Da Stube Buben
- Saturday, May 20
Da Stube Buben performs at the May 20th kickoff celebration. This fun-loving duo, both whom have deep German roots, deliver a playful-style of traditional Bavarian party music that will get feet stomping, hands clapping and of course arms flapping the Chicken Dance! This duo packs a big punch! Da Stube Buben plays songs such as Let’s Go Beer Drinking to Beer Barrel Polka that will keep you singing along all day long!
Die Sauerkrauts
- Saturday, May 27
- Sunday, May 28
This spirited, lederhosen-wearing, professional polka-playing group of musicians have been performing together since 2016. They deliver a hearty blend of polka, waltzes, and contemporary pop. Along with traditional German music, they mix it up the fun with pop, rock, funk and a variety of styles and covers. A lively show that is bound to get you on the dance floor!
