Sierra City: Oktoberfest Festival; things to do

Highway 49--Gold Rush Country

Oktoberfest Festival


Held in this scenic mountain town, the Oktoberfest Festival is scheduled this year for October 10.  The Downieville Lions Club makes sure that there are plenty of delicious brats and homemade sauerkraut, plus beers fresh from Munich and fresh apple cider prepared on the spot.  Live music entertains a happy audience seated on hay bales under tall shade trees, and vendor booths line the main street—providing just enough to do.
