Steamboat Springs, Colorado, is the perfect place to experience OktoberWest—a festival that combines the best of Bavarian tradition with the laid-back mountain vibe of this beautiful town. As summer fades and autumn rolls in, this event is the ultimate way to soak up the local culture and have a blast.

OktoberWest is all about craft beer, and this year’s festival features over 30 local and regional breweries. Whether you’re a craft beer aficionado or just looking to try something new, there’s a brew for everyone to enjoy.

But it’s not just about the beer. The festival also serves up a tasty variety of Bavarian and mountain-inspired food. Think juicy sausages, soft pretzels, and other delicious treats that’ll satisfy any craving.

As the sun sets, the fun continues with live music. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Clay Street Unit, a Denver-based band known for their Southern Country/Folk and bluegrass tunes. They’ll be keeping the party going and getting everyone on their feet.

OktoberWest is more than just food and drinks—it’s a great way to connect with the community and join in on some friendly competition. There’ll be traditional Oktoberfest games and contests, making it easy to make new friends and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

And there’s a feel-good side to the festival, too. OktoberWest supports local nonprofits and community projects, so you can have fun while giving back.

The festival takes place on September 7th, 2024, at Gondola Square, Steamboat Resort. With an anticipated crowd of 1,000-1,500 people, live music, great food, and plenty of beer, it’s set to be a fantastic day. Don’t forget to check out the VIP Experience for a commemorative ceramic stein. Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours and get ready to celebrate!
