Oktoberfest Menu at Bayside: New for 2024
09.22.24
Fall officially arrived, and with it, Bayside in Newport Beach is bringing back its highly anticipated Oktoberfest menu, offering an elevated twist on the autumn celebration.
A standout this year is the new "vesper board," an exciting addition to the classic dishes that have made Bayside’s Oktoberfest a hidden gem in Orange County.
As always, guests can enjoy live music each evening—though not the traditional oompah bands!
NEW FOR 2024: Brotzeit für Gäste (vesper board):
- Bavarian pretzel, Gruyère & Aged Gouda, Wild Boar & Felino Salami, Cornichons, served with Homemade Spicy Mustard
- Käse Krainer Bratwurst:
- Emmenthal Cheese infused Smoked Pork Sausage, Sauerkraut, Roasted Potatoes, served with Whole Grain Mustard.
- Paired perfectly with Spaten Oktoberfest brew.
Visit Bayside at 900 Bayside Drive, Newport Beach.
For reservations, call (949) 721-1222 or visit baysiderestaurant.com.

Transformative Currents: Where Art Meets Ocean Action at Crystal Cove
09.18.24
Crystal Cove Conservancy is excited to announce the upcoming exhibition, Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean, in partnership with Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide. Hosted in Crystal Cove’s historic Cottage #46, this exhibition will feature the multimedia installation Mare Liberum, Reimagined (2024) by artists Maja Godlewska and Marek Ranis, on display from September 21, 2024, through January 19, 2025.
Mare Liberum, Reimagined blends suspended elements with virtual reality, inviting visitors to navigate a kelp forest maze made of mesh screen paintings, enhanced by VR films. The installation extends to the exterior porch, overlooking the Pacific.
Transformative Currents explores the environmental and cultural impacts on the Pacific Ocean, using art to inspire ecological awareness and change. The exhibition features works by 21 contemporary artists, all focused on the theme of ocean currents, illustrating the interconnectedness of species, ecosystems, and the challenges posed by climate change and pollution.
As part of PST ART, Crystal Cove Conservancy is one of two satellite venues, alongside the Orange County Museum of Art. The exhibition is curated by Cassandra Coblentz, with assistant curators Aaron Katzeman and Ziying Duan.
