WELCOME TO THE FESTZELT
The heart of Mountain View Oktoberfest is its massive 200-foot Festzelt, where long communal tables, flowing beer, live music and dancing create the atmosphere of a traditional German beer hall right on Castro Street.
Grab a seat, raise a stein with old friends or make some new ones. Oktoberfest is about more than beer.&nbsp;It is about coming together, sharing a table and embracing the Bavarian spirit of Gemütlichkeit: warmth, friendliness and good cheer.
