It’s Oktoberfest Time Again…In Carlsbad California on October 1, 2011

It’s time again, already, for the popular Carlsbad Oktoberfest.

The Oktoberfest in Carlsbad will be happening this Saturday, October 1, 2011 at Holiday Park in Carlsbad from Noon until 10 pm. Holiday Park is located along Pio Pico and the freeway between Pine and Chestnut.

The Carlsbad Oktoberfest, an annual event in 1982 and attended by about 8,000 every year, is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Carlsbad, and the funds benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad, the Women’s Resource Center, the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club charities and the Rotary Club of Carlsbad charities.

You are sure to find plenty of German music, polka dancing, activities for the kids including face painting, a pumpkin patch with pumpkin decorating, several bands, a magician, and a classic German Oktoberfest meal provided by the well-known Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad and served from Noon until 8 pm.

Tickets at $10 can be purchased at a variety of locations in advance or on the day of the event.

You can expect some pretty good crowds at the Carlsbad Oktoberfest, and local parking will be limited, so park for free at the Westfield Plaza Camino Real, at the north end of El Camino Real just before the 78 freeway – a free shuttle bus is provided at 20 minute intervals beginning at 11:30 am with the last bus at 10:30 leaving Holiday Park.
