Oktoberfest 2021: Guide To The Best In Los Angeles County

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA — Practice your polka, brush up on your chicken-dance, and welcome back the season of Oktoberfests in the Southland!

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 near you. We've also included a few, large-scale fests from the mountains, in case you're up for a drive.

And Prost, from Patch!

And, as we all know, last-minute cancellations can occur, so always confirm with organizers that posted events are proceeding as planned.

As more events are announced, we will add them. So if we missed your town or organization's Oktoberfest plans, please email details with online links to susan.schena@patch.com.
