2024 Carlsbad Oktoberfest is October 5
The 42nd annual Carlsbad Oktoberfest is Saturday, October 5th, less than 3 weeks away! It’s time to put it on your calendar.
Carlsbad’s annual Oktoberfest Family Fall Festival, for years traditionally taking place on the 1st Saturday in October, will be held at the Carlsbad Strawberry Company on Cannon Roard just east of the 5 freeway. The festival runs from 12 noon until 8 pm.
Entrance fee (separate from food and drink) for the Carlsbad Strawberry Company is $10 and paid at the entrance, with children 5 and under free. Parking is complimentary but limited. No cash can be accepted.
As in the past the 2024 Oktoberfest is sponsored by Carlsbad’s 2 rotary clubs – the Rotary Club of Carlsbad, and the Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary Club. The festival is a major fundraiser for the Carlsbad Rotary Clubs. There are other event sponsors, as well.
Come enjoy a traditional German meal from the well-known Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad. And of course, there will be a Bier Garten with draught and can beer and wine (21 and older). You can purchase food and drink tickets in advance online.
The Oktoberfest DJ will provide music from 12 noon to 4 pm. The Express Band will offer live entertainment from 4 to 8 pm.
There will be activities for kids plus the popular Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. And there are plenty of games, too, including a Stein-Holding Contest, a Yodeling Contest, a Weiner Toss, and more.
You might want to consider wearing German outfit for the Best Dressed German Costume Contest. Kids can dress up, too!
