Oktoberfest 2021: Guide To The Best In Inland Empire
The forecast looks wunderbar as German festivals, with beers, brats & polkas aplenty, are back in the RivCo and San Bernardino regions.
INLAND EMPIRE, CA — Practice your polka, brush up on your chicken-dance, and welcome back the season of Oktoberfests in Riverside and San Bernardino counties!
In 2020, nearly all German fests were scrapped statewide, due to pandemic-related restrictions. This year, the extravaganzas — with their beers, brats and oom-pah bands — are marking a return.
Scroll through Patch's 2021 annual Oktoberfest guide, dust off your lederhosen and dirndls, and find fests and beer celebrations near you. And Prost, from Patch!
