Anneliese School’s Oktoberfest a Wild Success!
About 1,500 people attended Anneliese School’s annual Oktoberfest at the Willowbrook Campus in Laguna Canyon earlier this month.
Guests enjoyed carnival rides, games, face painting, a pumpkin patch and interacting with Anneliese’s miniature ponies. The event featured authentic Bavarian food prepared by school founder Anneliese Schimmelpfennig, a native of Bavaria whose friends from Germany travel here for the annual event. Current and former faculty members performed traditional Oktoberfest music.
Proceeds will support the arts, music, gardening, and athletics programs for all three Anneliese campuses in Laguna Beach.
