What It Is
Oktoberfest at Old World Village is a multi-week Oktoberfest at the Old World Biergarten in Huntington Beach. The 2026 season runs Friday, September 12, through Sunday, November 8. The event operates Wednesday through Sunday only; the biergarten is closed Monday and Tuesday during the season.
Why Go
Old World has hosted Oktoberfest in Huntington Beach since 1978, and the format is live band, long tables, steins, and competition nights (keg rolling, barrel racing, Miss Oktoberfest). If you want the full-format version rather than a stylized Oktoberfest, this is the version in OC that leans most on the German-village setting.

Pro tip: confirm the exact session you want on the Old World site before buying; the Saturday split sessions sell separately.
The Honest Take
Old World is the full-format Oktoberfest in OC, which also means it is loud, long, and the ticket you buy is to a session rather than open admission. Saturday nights sell fastest. Prices and session windows shift across the eight-week run, so confirm the specific night you want on the Old World site rather than planning off a general season summary.
