7th Annual Mountain View Oktoberfest

A photo from Mountain View Oktoberfest 2017.

The seventh annual Mountain View Oktoberfest is set for this coming weekend on both Sat., Oct. 5 and Sun., Oct. 6 beginning at 11am each day.

Presented by Steins Beer Garden & Restaurant and the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce, the event takes place in the vast parking lot behind the Steins Mountain View restaurant (895 Villa St.).

A 7,000 square foot Oktoberfest beer tent will once again serve as the event’s focal point, featuring communal tables, dancing and live music courtesy of The Alpiners USA, SF German Band and Big Lou’s Accordion Princess, a bevy of Bavarian food and treats from Teske’s Germania Restaurant, Aroma Concessions, Gourmet Faire and Steins, and contests galore, including stein holding, pretzel eating and beer belly.

A kids area includes jumpy houses, face painting, games and prizes. And a quick peek at the weekend weather reveals a picture-perfect forecast.
