With the change of the seasons come big changes in fashion.

Despite the trend of beer festivals saturating your Southern California weekends, the granddaddy of daytime drinking has grown into the most consistent beer driven event in Southern California. The OC Brew Ha Ha packs enthusiastic hop heads onto the grounds at Oak Canyon Ranch for an afternoon stacked with over 100 breweries all showcasing their latest and greatest. Whether from a keg or a cask, the beer is a plenty and this year, live entertainment from Dirty Reggae artists The Aggrolites ensures this will be one for the books.
Opening Weekend of Oktoberfest

Speaking of beer, the fall brings on a few crucial things. Football begins, baseball heats up, and Oktoberfest aims to drown September and October with as much beer as possible. Boasting clusters of scantily clad, lederhosen-laced ladies carrying massive glasses of amber rich suds, bratwurst and pretzels are battle your buzz for the celebration of the fall harvest. Old World Village in Huntington has long been home for one of the most epic Oktoberfest destinations in Southern California, with 2015 shaping up to be just as thirsty. Find your designated driver and have a conversation with your liver, it's time to hoist that glass.
Tattoo Flash Art Exhibit
577 S Coast Hwy.
Laguna Beach, CA
(949) 667-1803

Though the stigma of the tattoo has faded with just how mainstream the medium has become, the artform is very much at the heart of tattoo culture. For those that practice the craft, skin is a canvas, and every tattoo is another piece of work in a living catalog. That same reverence is on display for the latest exhibit at Las Laguna Gallery in South Orange County. A collection of nationally respect and locally established tattooers showcase their skill in a collection of work that all pays hoage to the timeless trade of applying permanent ink to skin. From the specific styles of tattooing to iconic images synonymous with the culture, the tattoo is a tradition that runs deep.
