OB Oktoberfest Day 2 — Ocean Beach
By Sunday the urgency of opening day has burned off, and the people left are the ones who wanted to be here rather than the ones who felt like they were supposed to be. That is Day 2 of Ocean Beach Oktoberfest — the version the neighborhood keeps for itself, once the crowd has found its rhythm and the vendors know what is moving.
OB has its own relationship with events like this: lower pretense, higher warmth, a crowd that talks to strangers because that is just what OB does. The pretzels are still warm. The beer covers German imports alongside SoCal craft. Newport Avenue closes to traffic and the blocks fill with people who have been coming for years standing next to people who stumbled in and immediately understood why it keeps happening. The food vendors, the live music, the slow pace of a Sunday afternoon in a neighborhood that does slow Sundays better than most of San Diego — it adds up to something that does not feel like a corporate event, because it isn't one. Send it to the friend who complains that festivals feel fake.
