Montrose Oktoberfest

On October 3rd, the small quaint town of Montrose comes

alive for its annual outdoor street festival to celebrate Oktoberfest. Sponsored by the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce, the Montrose Oktoberfest festivities comprise one of the largest outdoor events in Southern California celebrating the Bavarian tradition. And, as a Montrose institution for over 35 years, families come out to take part in this large event that brings people from far and wide to take part in the fun. Everything from entertainment by the German American Brass Band and D’oberlander Dancers, to carnival rides for kids and bingo games for the older generation will be on hand as well. In typical fashion, the event will feature tasty German food including bratwurst, sauerkraut, strudel and other delicious samples of Bavarian cuisine. If that wasn’t enough, taste the authentic German beer, take part in the hot dog eating contest or the fire fighter dunk tank and grab souvenirs.
