This event takes place on the grounds of the German American Societies of San Diego - in the Biergarten and Hall, located at 1017 S. Mollison Ave., El Cajon.  

ABOUT THE EVENT:
Enjoy German food such as bratwurst, ox-on-the-spit, potato pancakes, sauerkraut, red cabbage, potato salad, salted pretzels, and a variety of European pastries. Let a great selection of German beers and liquors – or water, soft drinks and coffee – quench your thirst while you enjoy traditional folk dancing, group dances, choir recitals, stein-holding competitions, and interactive musical entertainment. Games, contests and prizes, a Kid Zone and a variety of shopping booths line the Biergarten for additional all-ages fun.

THE MUSIC: 
Guggenbach-Buam, joins us from Baden-Württemberg, Germany. These talented, entertaining musicians play a variety of German music, just as you would hear in the beer gardens in Bavaria. Our in-house band - Germania Blaskapelle - will also hit the outdoor stage to share traditional Oom-pah music! On Saturday nights, the Gordon Kohl Band will perform German tunes in the Hall. 

THE RAFFLE: 
Raffle tickets are on sale throughout the Fest. Prizes will be drawn for during band breaks, and winners must be present to collect their prizes. A Grand Prize (sponsored by Coldwell Banker West Real Estate) of a flight for two to Germany will be drawn on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. You don’t need to be present to win the Grand Prize! 

PARKING:
Parking is free but is extremely limited. Please use Uber or Lyft, take a Taxi, or use another form of rideshare services to get to and from Oktoberfest. Consider carpooling or using public transit and walking from the nearest transit stop. Plan ahead and prepare responsibly. For your convenience, a drop-off/pick-up area will be set up at the main entrance.
