Event Info: 

  If you're looking for a way to blend Southern California sunshine with the festive spirit of a classic German celebration, then the Encinitas Oktoberfest & Artisan Faire on Sunday, September 28th is where you need to be! The Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and Visit Encinitas have announced that their 29th annual Oktoberfest will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. 15,000 guests are expected to attend this premier Oktoberfest in San Diego County. The ceremonial parade is slated for noon.

This family-oriented and pet-friendly festival and artisan faire is free and open to the public. Live entertainment including Bavarian music and dance troupes keep the atmosphere buzzing with energy. Authentic German food, international refreshments, two beer gardens and a diverse selection of local artisan products make the event a great opportunity to eat, drink and be merry and shop for unique crafts, jewelry and other handmade goods while supporting local businesses. A special kids play zone with inflatable slides, games, crafts, face painting and a rock-climbing wall make sure there is plenty to keep the little ones entertained while the adults enjoy the festivities. And for the first time, there will be a pet costume contest where furry friends get to show off their best German-themed costumes and compete for fun prizes.

As lively oompah music plays in the background, festival goers will be transported to Munich as steins of golden frothy beers flow freely and the aroma of sizzling sausages, crispy schnitzel and warm pretzels waft through the air.
