Oaktoberfest in the Diamond is one of the Bay Area’s premiere craft-beer festivals boasting over 200 craft beers to choose from, but it’s not only about the brews. The festival boasts five stages jam packed with amazing artists like Artelia Green & the Bandanas, Valerie Troutt & MoonCandy, Anita Lofton and MacArthur Maze to name a few. There is an entire street dedicated to kids and family attractions with a root beer garden where root beer floats abound. There will also be hundreds of vendors with clothes, crafts and of course plenty of great food options.

THE FOOD:  20 food vendors, including Oakland and Bay Area prominent chefs, showcase traditional German-style menus, including locals Grand Lake Kitchen and La Farine Bakery cooking up pork schnitzel, bratwurst, bread dumplings, braised red cabbage, and of course, fresh baked strudel.

THE BEERS:  Mixed packs showcasing German-style beers from the best brewers in the Bay, like Altamont, Drake’s, Laughing Monk, Federation, HenHouse, Line 51, South City Ciderworks, and more.
