Phoenix Club Oktoberfest History
Oktoberfest began in Munich in 1810 with festivities celebrating the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The celebration became an annual tradition and eventually grew into one of the world’s best-known festivals.
The Phoenix Club was founded in 1960 to preserve and promote German culture, customs and language in Southern California. For decades, the club was closely associated with Anaheim before relocating to its current home at 375 W. Central Avenue in Brea, which opened in 2024.
German heritage also has deep roots in Anaheim. German immigrants helped establish the Anaheim colony in 1857, and the city’s name combines “Ana,” from the Santa Ana River, with the German word heim, meaning home.
