My first Oktoberfest experience happened last year in Alpine Village located in Torrance, Ca. According to their website, they’ve been hosting this festive event for the last 42 years and it’s no surprise why it has lasted this long.

Housed in a large tent canopy in the middle of Alpine village is the annual Oktoberfest, which runs from September 12th – October 25th, 2009. After parking your car, you’ll feel the German brewsky charged partying vibe right from the parking lot. Pay an $8 entrance fee and off you go!
