Oktoberfest at Fairplex

Oktoberfest at Fairplex has enough weekend energy to earn a spot on the board.

See all this weekend's LA picks

This is a big fairground take on Oktoberfest, with several beer gardens, German beers and food, and a stein-holding contest. Each weekend has its own tribute band, and the opening weekend is Amor Prohibido playing Selena's '90s hits. A stein bundle gets you in with a stein and your first pour.

What to expect

Long tables, lederhosen and dirndls, live music and a festival crowd on the Fairplex grounds on the evening schedule.
