September 2, 2023 (La Mesa) — From  Sept. 29 through Oct. 1, La Mesa Oktoberfest will be celebrating 50 years of Bavarian festivities in an effort to top its traditions for the past half-century.

As if traditional German cuisine and flowing pints of bier at multiple biergartens aren’t enough of a reason to break out into a chicken dance, Oktoberfest will feature 3 stages of non-stop music featuring everything from traditional Bavarian and German music to live oompah bands, traditional rock bands, DJs, cover pop and more. 

The family-fun event also features dachshund races, a kinder carnival, Ferris wheel, rock climbing wall, Glücllich games, an artisan market and food fair, Deutsche dance square, and keg tapping ceremony.

Hours are:

Friday, Sept. 29:  4 - 10 p.m.

Saturday, Sept.30:  10 a.m. - 10 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 1:  12 - 8 p.m.
