Oktoberfest at The Barn at Meriam Park

Chico's Oktoberfest runs two consecutive evenings in a 115-year-old barn that was moved and rebuilt as the centre of the Meriam Park development. Alpenband plays traditional oompah both nights while CSU Dining Services serves bratwurst and sauerkraut and local breweries — Sierra Nevada, Farmers Brewing and Ramble West — pour their Oktoberfest releases. Lawn and carnival games, a beer stein holding contest and a costume contest fill out the evening. Both nights are strictly 21 and over.
