Walnut Creek Oktoberfest (Sept. 26-27)

It’s time to clink glasses and lift your spirits with Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit — a toast to cheers and good times — in honor of the upcoming fall season and popular Oktoberfest celebration.

Join us in the biergarten or on the dance floor for another epic Oktoberfest in Walnut Creek. It’s a great place to show off your dirndl dress or don the lederhosen. This 2-day-long, family-friendly event is free admission and recreates the beloved German fall celebration.
