Uncategorized Download To My Calendar
Get out your lederhosen! The Carlsbad Rotary Oktoberfest, a fall tradition of feasting, fun and fundraising, will mark its 29 th anniversary this year. The event, scheduled from 12:00 PM to 10 PM Saturday, October 1 at Holiday Park, will bring thousands of people to enjoy German food (and beer!), live music, and a variety of entertainment for children. (Holiday Park is located between Tamarack Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive off the I-5 Freeway)

The famous Tip Top Meats will be providing the traditional German dinner from noon until 8PM, the Carlsbad Danish bakery will be providing the amazing apple strudel, and loads of other great food will be everywhere. In addition to the traditional Budweiser and Beck?s Oktoberfest blend beers, a new beer will be added this year ? an IPA from Oceanside Ale Works brewed specially for this event. The Carlsbad Coastal Winery will again provide wine selections including tastings and host a grape stomp at Oktoberfest that was very popular last year, with separate barrels for adults and kids.

Live music will be played continuously this year, featuring the international Oktoberfest music artist Faith Page, along with polka music from German bands Roger and the New Villagers and The Pacific Coast Community Band. For the first time, live Rock & Roll will be included in the festivities with the addition of the Carlsbad bands The Skape Goats and The Last Call.

The event will again offer the popular Rotary Pumpkin Patch where children can decorate pumpkins and compete for prizes in different age groups. Moon jumps, clowns, face painting and caricaturists will keep all the little ones (and their parents!)
