The Simi Oktoberfest Street Team Takeover is a chance for the community to come together before the main festival and meet some of the friends who make Oktoberfest happen. On Friday, September 26, 2025, at 4 pm, the public is invited to gather at Sycamore and Cochran, in front of Cronies, for a lively intersection takeover. It’s a fun way to connect with neighbors, wave signs, and build excitement for the big weekend ahead. Everyone who pre-registers will also have a shot at winning prizes, including free tickets, beer steins, and T-shirts, with categories for best costume, most enthusiastic, and more.
