***FREE EVENT***

Since 1973, the Bob Stall Chevrolet La Mesa Oktoberfest has been attracting attendees from across San Diego and Southern California for 3 FREE days of festive live music, including Oompa bands, tons of top-notch German food, and of course, steins filled to the brim with German & Craft beer! The Munich-inspired festivities will be returning to the La Mesa Village on Friday, September 30^th, Saturday, October 1^st, and Sunday, October 2^nd as the quaint streets set the scene for the largest German celebration San Diego has to offer! Grab your steins and get ready to “Prost!” (Cheers!), because there is a libation to satisfy the taste of every Mann or Frau at this year’s Oktoberfest! Top off a perfect day soaking in the La Mesa sun with three fully loaded biergartens featuring non-stop performances by local and regional bands for young and old alike with German Polka bands, indie rock jams, brass musicians and more! A Biergarten Pass is only $5 (kids are free) and gives you access to all three unique gartens. Guests will want to come hungry and enjoy a wide variety of traditional German food, giant pretzels, bratwurst, schnitzel, and other delicious delights in the food court!

The La Mesa Oktoberfest is proud to announce the lineup for 2022 sponsored by Pete’s Place!

Gather up your brute and brawn for the Glucklich Games! Race down the street through a mini obstacle course while holding full steins at the Beer Stein Races. Face off to see who can roll their beer barrel the fastest from one end of the course to the other with the Beer Barrel Roll. Team up and grab each end of a keg, run around the cone, and then come back and pass it off to the next two players on your team with the Keg Haul Relay Race. Throw your partner over your shoulders and race through the custom course with the Partner Carrying Race. Prove which team is the strongest with a suspenseful game of Tug-O-War!

 After you have competed in the Glucklich Games, head over to Oktoberfest’s Craft Faire! The Craft Faire will feature artisanal vendors offering unique and hand-made items. Lining the streets will be over 100+ vendors to shop at and enjoy traditional and non-traditional food including some unique vegan specials! If the above was not enough, Oktoberfest has even more to enjoy at this German paradise with the German Kinder Karneval, featuring massive inflatable slides, interactive art, brat-eating competitions, scavenger hunts, & MORE!

Dachshunds and all pets are welcome! Bring your funny friend to our 3-day Dackeldorf extravaganza and participate in our Wiener/Dachshund dog races and fashion shows to win exciting prizes and medals.
