Maifest - The Spring Oktoberfest

Make way for Big Bear’s favorite springtime celebration.

The 6th Annual Big Bear Lake Maifest kicks off Saturday, May 20 with a special tribute to America’s Heroes (U.S. Military, law enforcement and firefighters).

The festivities continue the following weekend for Saturday, May 27 and Sunday, May 28 (Memorial Day Weekend).

While Maifest is scaled back a bit from her big sister Oktoberfest, there’s one thing for certain and that is she packs a big punch! Here’s what you can expect.

• Festive Maypole • Traditional German Springfest Beers • Maibowle (Champagne-style punch) • Sizzling Bratwursts Hot Off the Grill • Homemade Sauerkraut • Fresh Pretzels • Apple Strudel w/ Vanilla Sauce • Live Band • Entertainment • Kids’ Activities • Log-Sawing Contests • Stein Holding Competitions • Pol Schmücken Contest • Corn-Hole Toss
