Fall Foliage on Buff Pass

1st Annual Steamboat OktoberWest

September 18-20, 2009

Celebrate the season at a Steamboat-style Oktoberfest with music, food, beer, games and activities for kids and adults, chef competition and much more. We’re taking all the German Oktoberfest traditions and stamping them with Steamboat’s western brand. No German beer here, just good ol’ Rocky Mountain beer, food and festivities

The event will kickoff Friday night with a cruiser bike parade in Steamboat’s historic downtown leading patrons to their favorite restaurants to partake in a scrumptious dinner perfectly paired with select beers. Saturday is packed with entertainment for everyone in the family in a beautiful location, the base of the Steamboat Ski Area. Admission to the event is FREE. In true OktoberWest spirit, try your hand at roping a keg barrel, walk amongst the many artisan vendors and find that can’t-live-without item, sample some of the tasty food and put a refreshing beer in your hand and you have the perfect fall day in Steamboat Springs. While you are enjoying OktoberWest festivities, cheer on the Run Rabbit Run Ultra Marathon race finishers at the finish line after completing a challenging 50-mile run along the Continental Divide trail. Finish the day with some rockin' entertainment with headliner The Drew Emmitt Band and opening act 3 Wire band (free).
