4th Annual Steamboat OktoberWest
September 21st - 23rd, 2012

Fun, Food, Fall Colors, Friends, Family, Festivities…. And Beer!

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 an Oktoberfest and stamping it with Steamboat’s western brand. No German beer here, just good ol’ Rocky Mountain Colorado beer, food and festivities.

Steamboat OktoberWest

 
Fall Breakaway 

The event will kickoff Friday night with the Pedaling Posse Parade in Steamboat’s historic downtown leading patrons to their favorite restaurants for the Suds & Grub event with beer tastings and food specials.

Saturday is packed with entertainment for everyone in the family. Admission to the event is FREE. Embrace the true OktoberWest spirit with events such as the lamb cook-off, Cow PIE Challenge and Bucking Bull Battle while rockin' out during the free concert with 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 racers at the finish line after completing a challenging 50-mile run along the Continental Divide trail.
