Oktoberfest in Walnut Creek this Saturday! ADMISSION IS FREE!

Come celebrate the changing of the seasons at the first Walnut Creek Oktoberfest, Saturday, October 17,
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Presented by Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau and Walnut Creek
Downtown, this free, day-long, family friendly festival recreates the traditional German fall celebration.

Oktoberfest features include beer, brats, wine, live entertainment, and fun for the entire family. Don your lederhosen or lace up the dirndl dress and head to the Harvest Stage featuring Petty Theft, Revolver, and Mustache Harbor. After building up a thirst –– and an appetite–– sample a seasonal brew and munch on a soft pretzel while strolling the harvestthemed street vendors and unique artisans lining Locust Street between Cypress Street and Civic Drive.

Every respectable Oktoberfest has a Bier Garten, and this one will transport you directly to Bavaria with dozens of your favorite brews and the lively sounds of international music. Polka anyone? Visitors to the microbrew sampling area will discover local craft beers, such as Calicraft Brewing Company and Pyramid Alehouse, to enjoy with a prime beef slider on a pretzel bun from Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Wiener schnitzel and sauerbraten from Massimo Ristorante, among other tasty treats.

Youngsters of all ages will enjoy the Kinder Platz children’s area, with giant slide, face painting, pumpkin decorating,
and much more. Choose your “Great Pumpkin” in the Halloween Patch on Bonanza Street and support the Walnut
Creek Education Foundation at the same time.

So come out and enjoy the beautiful autumn weather with family and friends at the first Walnut Creek Oktoberfest.
FREE admission. Parking garages are conveniently located at 1350 Locust Street, 1625 Locust Street, and 1390
