Note: The Carlsbad Rotary Clubs have indicated Oktoberfest will not be returning in its usual form going forward. The dates below reflect the most recently confirmed edition — please check with the Rotary Club of Carlsbad or Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary for the latest before planning a visit.
North San Diego County’s longest-running Oktoberfest, presented jointly by the Rotary Club of Carlsbad and Carlsbad Hi-Noon Rotary, most recently returned for its 43rd annual edition on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from noon to 8:00 pm at the Carlsbad Strawberry Company fields on Cannon Road — the event’s home since it moved there from Holiday Park in the early 2020s.
The festival brings out families for an afternoon and evening of live music, German food and beer, wine tasting, games, and activities for kids, all set among the strawberry fields.
