The 13th annual Encinitas Otoberfest was held this past Sunday September 23rd and had just about everything for every age. This Encinitas Realtor attended several years in a row and been rather underwhelmed but this year was particularly unique. Vendors had lot to offer and there were lots of them. The crowd was fun and great to watch and the food was awesome and authentic.
Activities ranged from face painting, jewelry exhibits, food varieties from Vagillucci's Italian restaurant, Mexican food, Brauts and beer and dancing to a great oompa band that kept people hopping all day. A huge tent housed the food area with foods by famous Tip Top Meats while Mountain Vista was lined up and down with vendors from Encinitas Karate, Navy Seals, Encinitas BMW, unique beach art, paintings and face paintings. The booth I thought was of special note was the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce booth with their new t-shirts, coffee mugs, maps and other logo branded goodies. Honestly Encintias is truly on board to compete head to head with other cities with their new image campaign. If you haven't seen it, you'll want to check it out. The t-shirts make great gifts.
Another attraction of note was the Firefly Grill & Wine Bar strategically perched above street level with outside tables. The tables were full from early lunch till wrap time around 5 with patrons relaxing and watching the crowds. The video recap of the Encinitas Octoberfest can be seen here or on my website at www.MickeySellsHomes.com . With the weather turning cool and the temperatures about as perfect as they get here in Southern California, the Octoberfest and happenings in and around the area are just going to get better through the end of November. Have fun!
