Willkommen to the longest-running independent-neighborhood Oktoberfest celebration in Santa Cruz County! 

Messiah Lutheran Church, located in Santa Cruz’s West Side, has been hosting this event since its inception. We are celebrating our 26th anniversary! Oktoberfest Santa Cruz is a celebration of German-Bavarian culture. We encourage everyone to get into the spirit and dress up in your Lederhosens and Dirndls. This is a family friendly event with lots of children’s and family activities. It is held outdoors on Messiah Lutheran Church’s beautiful garden campus. 

Raise a stein and “Prost” to Gemutlichkeit and cheer since 1999!
