Live Music on the Outdoor Stage: Dance in the streets to authentic Bavarian yodeling and polka by Ladyhosen, followed by dance hits from powerhouse party band, Pop Rocks.

Front Street Festivities: Get in on the action with classic beer hall games like stein holding, beer chugging (non-alcoholic), our best-dressed contest, and more!

Bar Specials: With over 70 beers on tap and German food specials between the West Coast's oldest Bavarian Beer Hall, Schroeder's, plus Harrington's Bar & Grill, and Royal Exchange, you'd best bring your appetite!
