Ocean Beach Oktoberfest is Back for a Wild Weekend of Festivities

OB Oktoberfest is back and bigger than ever, promising a beachfront bash that’ll have you saying “Prost!” till the cows come home.

This year, they’re doubling down on the beach vibes and cranking up the volume for a two-day extravaganza.

OB Oktoberfest

From Electronica to Eating Contests

New this year? An Electronica Stage that’ll have you dancing in the sand like never before. But don’t worry, traditionalists—the Jägermeister Main Stage is still bringing the heat with acts like Mickey Avalon and Jakobs Castle.

And for you competitive types, Joey Chestnut is back to defend his Guinness World Record. (We’re not sure what he’s eating, but we’re here for it!)

VIP Vibes and Brews for Days

Upgrade your experience with VIP tickets and you’ll be living large with a custom OB Oktoberfest mug, access to exclusive areas, and a sky bar experience. And let’s talk about those drink specials—two-for-one beers to kick things off? Ja, bitte!

More Than Just a Party

While you’re busy stuffing your face with brats and tossing pretzels (yes, that’s a thing), remember that your good time is doing good for the community. This shindig has raised $750,000 for local causes to date. So drink up—it’s for charity!

OB Oktoberfest

See you there!

The OB Oktoberfest kicks off the festivities on October 11 and 12. Friday’s fun runs from 4 PM to 11:30 PM, while Saturday goes all day from noon to 11:30 PM. General admission is a steal at $15 at the gate, but true party animals will want to snag those $59 VIP tickets in advance here.

So dust off your dirndl, flex those stein-holding muscles, and get ready for San Diego‘s wildest Oktoberfest. It’s time to show the world how we do Bavarian beach style!

See you there, San Diego!
