A 200 Year Tradition at the Beach
Oktoberfest, a festival originated in 1810 in celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria, has now become an annual tradition all over the world celebrating beer, food, entertainment and tradition.
Tradition in a south Bay kind of way:
- Serving great craft brews
- Authentic German Food and other tasty treats
- Live entertainment including the LA Kings main stage with German music and dancing
- Carnival rides and games
- Gemütlichkeit Games (Friendlies), because we’re all a bit competitive
