Sign up for our first ever “Iron-Man Stein Lifting” contest and pick up your annual collector’s ceramic ½ liter and 1 liter Oktoberfest steins with featured artwork by Steven Held!

Saturday from 11am to 8pm. Enjoy polka, crafts, German music, a wide variety of craft brews from Crabtree Brewery, Oskar Blues, and Boulder Beer, and food from more than a dozen food vendors.

New this year is a VIP tasting tent from 1-4 Saturday. Sample reserve beers from craft brewers for only $30! Price includes a commemorative tasting glass, food samples, a meet-and-greet with professional brewers and two beer tokens to spend! Tickets are available at the DDA office, 802 9th St. and will be available at the event.

Oktoberfest is a family-friendly event and offers a great Children’s Area with an inflatable slide, giant bubble tower, obstacle course, pumpkins to decorate, face painting and lots of games to play.

Additionally, there will be a wide variety of arts and crafts for perusal and purchase.
