Set against the stunning backdrop of Vail’s picturesque mountains, this annual celebration is more than just an event—it’s an experience that brings together food, fun, and festivity in a way that only Vail can.
A Bavarian Extravaganza in the Heart of the Rockies
From the moment you step into Vail Oktoberfest, you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported straight to the heart of Bavaria. The smell of sizzling bratwursts, the sound of traditional polka music, and the sight of revelers dressed in lederhosen and dirndls create an atmosphere that’s both authentic and exhilarating.
Vail Oktoberfest 2024 promises two weekends of non-stop entertainment. The festivities kick off in Lionshead Village from September 6-8, followed by another weekend of celebrations in Vail Village from September 13-15. Whether you’re a seasoned Oktoberfest veteran or a first-time attendee, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Indulge in Authentic Bavarian Delights
Food is at the heart of any Oktoberfest celebration, and Vail’s event is no exception. Savor every bite of authentic German sausages, giant pretzels, and rich, buttery schnitzel. Pair your meal with a stein of craft beer from local breweries, or indulge in a glass of imported German brew, perfectly chilled for the occasion.
The festival’s beer offerings are as diverse as they are delicious. From crisp lagers to hearty ales, there’s a brew to satisfy every palate. Don’t miss the chance to participate in a stein-holding competition—an iconic test of strength and stamina that’s as fun to watch as it is to compete in!
