Alpine Village Octoberfest
October 4-27 weekends, Alpine Village 833 W Torrance Blvd., Torrance
Alpine Village is the home of the oldest Oktoberfest celebration in Southern California. Last year was our 50th Anniversary celebration, and one of our best to date. Many of you asked “what it was like 50 years ago?”. Well, this year, we are going to show you and relive those golden days.
We are hosting our “Throwback Oktoberfest” for our 51st anniversary event. This year, we are moving our event back into our restaurant like when it first started. No tent this year, but rather, our “bier hall” style celebration.
Our restaurant will be set up much like the German Bier Halls during Oktoberfest including:
Festival Style Seating – our traditional benches where you get to know your neighbors
Band Direct From Germany – the Haderlumpen band is back!
German Food – from our award winning sausages to our roasted chicken
German Imported Beer – HofBrau is our featured beer, but there are many to choose from
Full Bar – in addition to our imported beer, this year we will have a full bar
We deliver an authentic European traditional Oktoberfest to you…and all within 10 miles of Southern California’s beautiful beaches. Join us for Oktoberfest 2019!
