Oktoberfest by the Bay

Oktoberfest by the Bay

A little bit of beer and lederhosen go a long way when it’s time for Oktoberfest. Festivities for this famed German tradition will be held at Fort Mason from October 2-5. The Chico Bavarian Band and the Internationals will provide live music for the entire event, and Bavarian dancing will take place every couple of hours. Pretzels, brats, and of course, endless pints of German beer will guarantee fun for the entire family. It is important to note that food and drinks are not included in the ticket price, so be sure to bring extra cash. However, if you go for Thursday's opening, or Gemutlichkeit Night, the admission fee includes a complimentary brat and beer. Prosit!

When: October 2-5

Where: Fort Mason Center, San Francisco

Admission: $25 adults ($35 for Saturday evening session), $5 for children
