(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — In a statement posted to social media, Mission Burrito of Simi Valley announced that they will host the official Simi Valley Oktoberfest After-Party on Saturday, October 4, 2025.
Last year, guests were invited to The Junkyard Café after the festival. That event drew big crowds and highlighted how important the official after-party has become in extending the celebration. By naming Mission Burrito as this year’s host, the committee is setting up a busy night for one of Simi Valley’s most iconic restaurants.
Owner Jose Martinez says his team is ready. “We’ve seen large crowds come here after Oktoberfest in years past,” Martinez said. “Now that it’s official, we’re preparing to make it a fun, safe place where everyone can keep the celebration going.”
The Simi Oktoberfest Committee selected Mission Burrito after considering proposals submitted by several local restaurants and businesses. The restaurant, located at 2161 Tapo Street, will open its doors at 5pm, shortly before the festival at Lemon Park concludes at 6pm.
According to the announcement, the after-party will include:
- Live DJ and music in the parking lot
- Late night Karaoke
- Fast and affordable food and appetizers
- Fully stocked outdoor bar
- A large patio and seating area
- Ample parking on-site, and nearby
“This means a lot to us,” said Martinez. “Simi Valley has supported our restaurant for years, and hosting the official after-party is our way of giving something back. We want people to eat, laugh, and enjoy themselves well into the night.”
The main Oktoberfest Festival takes place from 11am to 6pm at Lemon Park, 3700 Avenida Simi. Organizers expect the after-party to carry the Oktoberfest celebration into the evening with plenty of good food, drinks and music.
Mission Burrito expects to see many Simi Valley locals and regulars but lots of out-of-town guests and visitors as well.
