Once again Oktoberfest is upon us! It never ceases to amaze me, how fast time flies.
Encinitas host a small, very family friend Oktoberfest celebration.
This year it will be on September 20th from 10-6 and admission is free.
Encinitas closes down Mountain Vista St (Just off of El Camino Real) and sets up more of a mini street fair, with a collection
of local merchants peddling their wears. Along with plenty for the kiddies to do!
I have to mention that Karl Strauss is present with his Oktoberfest brew and John Haedrich of Tip Top meats
make sure that authentic German food is available for all!
Of course an Oktoberfest festival is not complete with out Dancers and a Bavarian Band.
It is a fun family day for all!
Now beckons the question... what is Oktoberfest, well other then an excuse to go have some fun with good food and
drink?
Oktoberfest traditionally starts on the third weekend in September and ends the first Sunday of October. It began with the Royal Wedding on October 12th, 1810 when Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The decision to repeat the celebration in subsequent years gave rise to the tradition of Oktoberfest. Now held all over the world!
And now we celebrate the 176th Oktoberfest!
