Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest<br />
kicks off with America’s<br />
Heroes Weekend<br />
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest has been celebrating good<br />
times and authentic German traditions for 36 years. This<br />
year’s event once again opens with a salute to America’s military,<br />
law enforcement and fire fighters with the fifth annual<br />
America’s Heroes Weekend, September 13 and 14. Admission opening<br />
weekend is free for anyone carrying an official badge or military I.D.,<br />
including past and present military, law enforcment and fire fighters.<br />
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest takes place high in the San<br />
Bernardino mountains. American heroes will enjoy a weekend of<br />
dancing, singing and feasting in the German tradition. Opening ceremonies<br />
pay special tribute to America’s troops and the tapping of the<br />
first keg. The Express, Southern California’s premier German band,<br />
headlines with an appearance by Frank and the Villagers on Sunday.<br />
Other opening ceremony festivities include the Bear Valley Marine<br />
Color Gurard and the Big Bear Polka Tots.<br />
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest began in 1970 when Hans<br />
Bandows, a German immigrant, threw the mountain resort’s first<br />
Oktoberfest. Bandows and his family moved from New York City to<br />
Big Bear Lake. After a year in Big Bear, the Bandows decided it was<br />
time to throw a good, old-fashioned Oktoberfest to honor their new<br />
friends and clients. The townsfolk had such a good time, they asked<br />
Bandows to head up a community-wide event.<br />
This year Snow Valley Mountain Resort and the Oktoberfest have<br />
teamed-up. Every guest coming to celebrate Oktoberfest will receive a<br />
free Snow Valley Mountain Resort midweek lift ticket, a $42 value.<br />
The Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest runs for six and a half consecutive<br />
weekends, September 13 through October 25. General admission<br />
(for non-military and non-law enforcement personnel) is<br />
$12 for adults, $9 for seniors (65+), and $6 for children (3 -12<br />
years) on Saturdays; and $6 for adults, $5 for seniors with children<br />
12 and under free on Sundays. Gates open each day at<br />
noon and continues through midnight on Saturdays and<br />
5:30pm on Sundays.<br />
