Oktoberfest at Big Bear Lake

Join us for a fun day of fall festivities as we travel to beautiful Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains to celebrate Oktoberfest. Experience authentic German fare, traditional entertainment from Germany, and plenty of lederhosen! Test your strength during the beer stein holding challenge, enjoy clogging and other cultural performances, and sample authentic bratwurst, Polish sausage, and more. Your day includes admission to the festival and an all-inclusive German luncheon featuring your choice of several entrees, a side dish, apple strudel for dessert, and a beer, wine, or non-alcoholic beverage. In the early afternoon, you’ll also have the opportunity to take an optional side excursion into the heart of downtown for free time to shop and explore Big Bear Lake Village at your leisure. Note: This tour visits a high elevation region of up to 7,000 feet.

Tour Manager: *Christina Koohmarey

Activity Level: High

This tour is considered high activity mostly due to the elevation of 7,000 feet, as the air is thinner at that elevation and some individuals may find breathing more difficult than normal with moderate exertion. The Oktoberfest activities are held at the Big Bear Convention Center, which is accessible and does not require climbing stairs. Some outdoor vendors are set up on unpaved but flat surfaces, and activities are at your own pace. We have a reserved table where guests can remain seated during the event and entertainment. An optional shuttle to the village of Big Bear is offered for shopping, and sidewalks are present.
