Old World Festival Hall & Biergarten
Old World is a German themed village of shops and restaurants near the 405 Freeway and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. It was established in 1978, and its Biergarten, with indoor and outdoor space, is the village’s main live music spot.
Music runs most weekends and several weeknights. Recurring dinner shows in fall 2026 included an Elvis tribute on Tuesdays and the Gilbert Bonilla Duo on Mondays, while weekend bills featured tribute concerts, free outdoor shows and events such as a blues fest. The biggest stretch is Oktoberfest, which Old World calls Orange County’s original; in 2026 it ran September 12 through November 8 with bands and nightly entertainment.
Most events are all ages, some are free, and others sell tickets through Universe or at the door; ticketed events require clear bags. Parking is free, and dinner reservations are recommended for dinner shows.
