There's so much to love about Oktoberfest–old men in cute little hats and suspenders, buxom beer babes, drunken sing-a-longs, sausages galore, the bicep workout you get while chugging out of steins. “Oans, zwoa, drei, Gsuffa!” (One, two, three, drink up!)
We're in the height of the season, so grab your lederhosen and check out one (or all) of these OC Oktoberfest events!
