Welk Resorts to host Oktoberfest, October 13-14


The Welk Resorts will host their First Annual Oktoberfest celebration featuring delicious German-themed food, rides, games, live music, and of course —beer! Oceanside-based Legacy Brewing Co. will keep the beer flowing at the Bier Garden with over a dozen craft beers. The festivities take place on Saturday, October 13 and Sunday, October 14, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Welk Resort Golf Course.

Join German Emcee Richard Bernard as he keeps the Oktoberfest spirit high between live performances, including an enthralling performance by The Killer Dueling Pianos. Guests can test their skills at classic German-themed contests like Barrel Racing and Beer Stein Holding. Thrill seekers will especially enjoy the new PartyWorks’ 30-foot free-fall, where they can jump off a platform and land into a giant inflatable landing pad.
