Get Your Kicks This Weekend in the Inland Empire

September 18, 2009

This weekend offers a variety of ways to "get your kicks" in the Inland Empire. Two of the events are celebrating 20 years of entertainment and one is in its 10 year.

Starting at 5 p.m. this evening the 20th annual Stater Brothers Route 66 Rendezvous rolls into downtown San Bernardino. 1900 pre-1974 cars will help celebrate Route 66 and America's fascination with the automobile. For all the activities occurring at the Rendezvous check the official web site http://www.route-66.org/

At Noble Creek Park in Beaumont the 20th annual Oktoberfest kicks off at 5 p.m. today. The Oktoberfest is presented by the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Recreation and Park district. It features plenty of sausage, sauerkraut and potato salad. Lots of oom-pah-pah music and all kinds of contests including a pretzel-whistling contest (whatever that is). For more info you can reach Erin Waldner at 951-763-3473 or ewaldner@PE.com

For slightly cooler temperatures, you can drive up to Big Bear Lake and check out the 10th annual International Film Festival today though Sunday. This year's films will include the premiere screening of "Frozen Kiss," a feature-length film shot in Big Bear with nearly 40 local residents as extras. Cost is $5 for individual films; $25 for a daily weekend movie pass and $85 of the Opening Gala this evening + an all events pass. You can call (909)866-3433 or on the Internet http://www.bigbearlakefilmfestival.com/

All of these events continue from today through Sunday, September 20.
