NEXT WEEK / COUNTYWIDE CELEBRATIONS--If you can’t make it to Munich, there are plenty local Oktoberfest celebrations in San Diego.

Perhaps the most SoCal Oktoberfest, Ocean Beach’s 10th annual celebration will be October 10 & 11. Gaze into the Pacific through the bottom of your glass, hear tribute bands jam in the Beer Garden Band Slam and cheer on the winner of the Ms Oktoberfest Bikini Contest. Pizza Port Ocean Beach will be serving beer, too. Buses depart to OB from Pacific Beach & Downtown. More info: oboktoberfest.com

New this year: South Park’s version of Oktoberfest will take place on October 11th from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Dubbed Parktoberfest, the event will be held in the Gala Foods Parking. There will be a beer tent featuring 10 local breweries, a kid’s carnival, live music and more. Search Facebook for Parktoberfest to get more info.

There’s also Oktoberfests in La Mesa, Carlsbad, Julian, Ramona and Encinitas. Visit sandiego.org/campaigns/fall-in-san-diego/oktoberfests.aspx for a listing.
