Breathe in the crisp mountain air as we escape to Big Bear, the charming mountain town nestled among the beautiful pine forests of the San Bernardino Mountains (elevation 6,700 feet). This popular autumn experience will be filled with the vibrant sights, sounds, tastes and camaraderie of one of the best German celebrations this side of Munich. Renowned as “the number one Oktoberfest in California,” this authentic festival perfectly captures the spirit of Munich with a unique blend of Gemütlichkeit – a warm sense of coziness and good cheer. For over 50 years, the Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest has established its own beloved traditions while holding onto its old-world charm, delighting guests with German-style entertainment, authentic brats and knockwursts imported from Germany, and the very same legendary beers poured at Munich’s original festival. Enjoy an included, three-course lunch with choice of entrée (bratwurst, Polish sausage, or roasted chicken), classic sides, a delicious apple strudel, and an included pint of beer or glass of wine. We’ll provide ample time to enjoy the live music, dancing, interactive games and outdoor vendors at the festive Budenstraße. This afternoon, we’ll take to the water for a scenic 90-minute cruise on Big Bear Lake aboard the The Big Bear Queen, a classic paddle-wheeler. Your captain, a Big Bear native and life-long resident, will provide engaging narration about the valley’s history – from the Gold Rush to local folklore – while pointing out famous sights including the solar observatory, Garstin Island, celebrity lakeside homes, and more. The Big Bear Queen has both shaded and unshaded seating. The historic Big Bear Queen is not wheelchair accessible. This tour involves moderate walking as well as driving on mountain roads.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
