Every year Big Bear Oktoberfest gets better and more fun. If you are visiting the site just to have fun at Oktoberfest, you can have a lot of fun without spending a lot. Here are some of the best things you can do at these festivals.
Although Big Bear Oktoberfest takes place every year, the Oktoberfest spirit comes to life in August when the annual Oktoberfest Party takes place at Big Bear Lake. The original German immigrants who settled in this area over a century ago grew corn, wheat, hay, and rye on this portion of the Big Bear Lake property. Today, this area of the lake is considered a tourist attraction and home to countless outdoor activities. Besides holding Oktoberfest parties, visitors also love to visit the Big Bear Lake State Park, where they can hike, bike, canoe, and boathouse.
If you are interested in hosting an Oktoberfest party in August, then you will probably want to focus on food and beverages. When the huge crowd of Oktoberfest goers starts pouring in, it becomes very difficult to find parking. Fortunately, the surrounding community provides plenty of convenient, and even free, parking lots. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about where to park, as well as to find an affordable bar or restaurant to purchase your German beers from.
As part of American tradition, Oktoberfest celebrations celebrate the start of Oktoberfest in Germany by having contests. One of the most popular contests is the German beer pong championship. This fun game is played in the parking lot of the Big Bear Lake and is best accompanied by cold beers and, of course, German food!
For those of you who are interested in having a little fun before the big day, there are other fun activities as well. There are several contests and competitions at the Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest. For example, if you throw a log sawing contest, be sure to bring the best cutters with you. The stein holding contest is also a fun activity. There are a couple of different types of stains, such as the traditional wooden steins, and there are also several different styles of log sawing skegs. The winner is always the person with the best log sawing step.
Of course, music and dancing are always important at a food and beer event. The organists and bluegrass bands make the atmosphere very relaxed and pleasant. Besides the log sawing and stein-holding contests, there are several other fun German activities at the Oktoberfest. Don’t forget to pre-purchase your Oktoberfest tickets before you visit the beautiful Big Bear Lake, CA area, for the big day.
