Santa Anita Park’s Oktoberfest

Held over two weekends (Oct 14-15, 21-22), this Oktoberfest celebration combines Santa Anita’s famous horse races with the best of the Bavarian fall festival, including stein holding and costume contests, a corn hole competition and pretzels and beer of course. Each $38 general admission ticket includes a mini tasting stein and eight three-ounce beer tastings, as well as a $5 betting voucher, a tip sheet and access to grandstand seating. A pricier $70 VIP group ticket (three-person minimum) secures you picnic table seating, as well as a $20 food voucher.
