California celebrates Oktoberfest annually with over 100 events ranging from 1 day festivals to weeklong and month-long seasons. From the delicious Oktoberfest foods to the great beers on tap, Oktoberfest is a season to savor and enjoy, then long for the rest of the year.

The World's Largest Oktoberfest, the 188th Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany takes place September 16-October 3, 2023 (oktoberfest.de). It kicks off with a parade, the bier barrel is tapped by Mayor Dieter Reiter on September 16 at 12 noon in the Schottenhamel Festival Hall, and there's a gun salute by the Bavaria statue.  In the 17 festival halls with a total of around 120,000 seats, the special Oktoberfest beers  rated at around 13% alcohol content, come from the six traditional Munich breweries Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Löwenbräu, Paulaner, Spaten and Staatliches Hofbräuhaus. You don't have to travel to Germany to enjoy the spirit of Oktoberfest, however. Check out California's Oktoberfest fun!
