Old World Huntington Beach has been the host of Orange County’s Biggest Party since 1977! This year’s Oktoberfest promises to be the best celebration yet, offering authentic German Food (voted “Best Bratwurst” in California), imported German Beers, German Bands straight from Germany, an army of Beautiful Shot Girls, and other festivities, competitions, games and more. So come on down and experience the best Oktoberfest celebration in the World—Old World Huntington Beach.
OKTOBERFEST PARADE
In Munich, you can watch the landlords of the Oktoberfest beer halls and the Oktoberfest breweries make their festive entry to the Theresienwiese, the annual location of the festival. The parade displays historic horse-drawn carriages, traditionally decorated floats, and all Oktoberfest bands. We celebrate with our own parade, following the same traditions as Munich. It’s a great way to have fun, march with our bands playing Oom-Pah-Pah Music and our Shot Girls leading the festivities.
GERMAN OOM-PAH BANDS
We bring our traditional Oom-Pah bands from Germany, to give you the most authentic, fun time you’ll have at Oktoberfest anywhere. Bands and music are as much a part of Oktoberfest as the Beer and Girls, they keep the festivities going and get us singing those wonderful German drinking songs. Old World is excited to have the German-American Brass Band kick off our Oktoberfest Celebrations this year! The German-American Brass Band is Southern California’s premier German brass band. Modeled after an authentic German Blaskapelle, the type of brass band that you’d find in the villages and towns of Germany, Austria, and throughout central Europe—and of course at the Oktoberfest!
FAMILY FUNDAY
Kinderfest is a great family day! The kids can enjoy the dog races, carnival games, face painting, a bouncy house, DoDo the chicken, and join everyone on the dance floor for their favorite song, the “Chicken Dance.” While the kids are having fun, the adults can enjoy our great selection of German Beers and our new menu includes some amazing sausages you’ll love. Kinderfest is held during Oktoberfest from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm every Sunday. Admission is $7 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12, and FREE for kids 5 and under.
KINDERFEST KID CONTEST
Enter your child into the first Kinderfest Kid Contest at the Old World’s Kinderfest on Sunday, September 15, for the chance to star on the cover of Parenting OC Magazine! Entry is limited to children ages 5 to 9 years old and all participants will receive free admission to Kinderfest!
WEINER DOG RACES
The Wiener Dog Races are always one of the most popular attractions at Old World, and during Oktoberfest you’ll enjoy the ‘Running of the Wieners’ every Sunday from 3-4 pm. Dogs are placed into one of four weight classes. The Dachshunds run a 22-yard course with their owners at the finish line, luring their dogs to run toward them with colorful toys, food, cheers, and the occasional begging. In the early days, the races were run through the village streets, and the dogs chased a skunk-scented piece of fur tied to a line being pulled by a car battery and motor.
Don’t miss our Halloween celebration on October 27, when we hold our Doggy Dress Up and Kid Costume Party to celebrate Halloweiner.
OKTOBERFEST COSTUMES
Friday nights only from 6:30 pm to 1:30 am. Free admission during Oktoberfest to those visitors who come dressed in a full Lederhosen, Dirndl or other traditional German attire.
THE HERBMEISTER
Herb Schwarz “The Herbmeister” has been an important part of our Oktoberfest event for more than 30 years. You’ll always find “The Herbmeister” surrounded by some of the most beautiful women in the audience. So, come on down and you’ll see the Herbmeister in action this Oktoberfest.
