LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Chamber of Commerce is seeking German food vendors for its third annual Oktoberfest.  

The event will be on Main Street, between First and Fourth streets, in historic downtown Lakeport on Saturday, Oct. 6.

In addition to German food vendors, the chamber is seeking other types of vendors for the festival.
 
Oktoberfest features “Showcase The Band” during the afternoon offering a large variety of German music, standards and crowd participation with games and songs.  

The evening street dance beginning at 6 p.m. will have the talents of Jimi Z’s band until 10 p.m. Both of these bands keep the crowds on their feet continuously. During the day there will be roving accordion players.

In addition, Showcase the Band features a variety of activities in which the public is invited to participate.  

Also during the day, Oktoberfest offers such fun activities as the Rubber Ducky Race for adults and children; a doggy (all breeds) costume contest, open to all breeds and the now World Famous Dachshund Derby Race, open only to dachshunds.   

This year they are adding two new contests: beer pong and a washer tournament.

The Oktoberfest official emcee, Tony Barthel, will have his Oktoberfest Ladies assist him as he invites public participation throughout the day in some wild and wacky contests.

A large variety of microbrews will be offered for tastings during the afternoon on Third Street, where other beverages will also be offered for sale.
