Guide To 2018 Oktoberfest Events In Orange County

Oktoberfest has been celebrated in Germany for over 200 years, but it is also celebrated worldwide due to beer (bier auf Deutsch) and a melting pot of cultures. Here in Orange County, Anaheim was founded by German families in 1857. With these German roots, it is only natural that we celebrate Oktoberfest too. Here is your guide to events in Orange County where you can get the sights, sounds, and flavors of Oktoberfest. Prost!
