If beer and sausages are your idea of a good time, look sharp: Oktoberfest is around the corner. With all the beer Los Angeles has to offer—from craft breweries to Bavarian-style biergartens—you’d be remiss not to celebrate Oktoberfest here in Los Angeles, but we’ve also rounded up larger, rowdier events a little further away in Orange County and San Bernardino if you’d rather make a day trip out of it. Put on your lederhosen, brush up on your oompah dancing and welcome autumn with a bratwurst in one hand and a stein in the other. Prost!

What is Oktoberfest?

A massive, centuries-old beer festival in Munich that’s now celebrated around the world.

When is Oktoberfest?

Though the German originator starts in mid-September (September 21 this year, to be exact), most Oktoberfest events in L.A. run throughout October, with a few that kick off in early September.
