El Cajon Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest in El Cajon is a family-friendly festival that began in 1972, promoting traditional German culture, including entertainment provided by our popular band Guggenbach-Buam, who join us from Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Enjoy folk dances, games, and contests, vendor booths, and let your youngsters go crazy in the Kids’ Zone!
On Friday, September 27, at 6:30 PM, join us for our opening parade and ceremonial "Tapping the Wooden Keg." Our grand prize winner of our raffle will be drawn at 8:00 PM Sunday, October 6; some lucky winner will win a round-trip flight for two to Germany! Raffle tickets can be purchased during the festival, and door prizes will be drawn frequently.
Try authentic German food such as bratwurst, ox-on-the-spit, potato salad, potato pancakes, pretzels, sauerkraut and red cabbage, plus a mouth-watering variety of German pastries. Soft drinks and adult beverages are sold, plus a fantastic selection of German beers on draft, wines and a full bar. Bring your family and invite your friends to join you at the real German Oktoberfest in El Cajon! For more information, and to purchase ticket packages online, visit www.OktoberfestElCajon.com.
