Santa Anita Park’s Oktoberfest

Held over two weekends (Oct 12–13, 19–20), this Oktoberfest celebration combines Santa Anita’s famous horse races with the best of the Bavarian fall festival, including stein holding and costume contests, a corn hole competition and pretzels and beer of course. Each $38 general admission ticket includes a mini tasting stein and eight three-ounce beer tastings, as well as a $5 betting voucher, a tip sheet and access to grandstand seating. A pricier $75 VIP group ticket (three-person minimum) secures you picnic table seating, as well as a $20 food voucher.
