Oaktoberfest
Oktoberfests are a worldwide phenomenon, attracting thousands of beer-guzzling maniacs to the far reaches of the globe once the weather begins to change. Here in the Bay Area, because we like to have fun and drink fantastic beer just like everywhere else, our celebration of fermented yeast and hops occurs, as it should, on October 1st. Unlike everywhere else, we don’t call it “Oktoberfest.” Instead, because our festival takes place in Oakland, we call it OAKTOBERFESt.
