Vail and Beaver Creek celebrate Germany’s beer & bratwurst culture each August & September with two exuberant Oktoberfest festivals.
Beaver Creek’s annual Oktoberfest is held each Labor Day weekend in the Village and features tons of oom-pah-pah music, a Bavarian Costume Contest, a Kids’ Fun Zone – and of course tons of delicious bratwurst and a huge beer garden!
Vail celebrates Oktoberfest with two weekends of Bavarian cheer – on Sept. 9-11th and Sept. 16-18th this year – that includes favorites like the Bratwurst Eating Contest and Keg Bowling. Don’t miss the fantastic Bavarian music, dancing, yodeling, alpenhorn blowing and more.
