The City is home to six events over the course of a celebration that traces its roots back to the 16-day-long festival held annually in Munich, Germany
Over the next few weeks, The City will raise a toast for Oktoberfest , the annual festival in Munich, Germany, that has grown into a worldwide celebration of Bavarian culture since first being held more than 200 years ago. Residents can bust out their finest lederhosen and watch beer taps flow endlessly at events situated along the beach — and, in some cases, on San Francisco Bay.
Competitions include axe throwing, pretzel tosses, non-alcoholic beer chugging, costume contests and other beer-hall games. The event also includes live music, entertainment and food. Woodsfest: Island Oktoberfest : Woods Beer and Wine Company is inviting guests to take a ferry out to Treasure Island to celebrate Oktoberfest with sweeping views of The City’s skyline. Once the administrative center for the 1939 World’s Fair, the Woods Island Club will serve grilled sausages, sauerkraut, soft pretzels and more. Tickets — which are not required for guests younger than 21 — include admission to the event and a custom beer mug.
