Oktoberfest in Colorado 2024
There are a lot of German beer festivals to celebrate Oktoberfest in Colorado in 2024. It doesn’t matter whether you live in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, or Colorado Springs, you have both great local options and the ability to go to a Denver Oktoberfest.
Last Major Update:2024 was a great year for Oktoberfest! We'll be back with more next year.
Looks like plenty of great Oktoberfest parties running all the way up to November to enjoy, so Prost!
All events showing current dates need to be verified to confirm that changes to the schedule were not made by the organizers after publication here. We do not run these events, and would hate for anyone to go out of their way only to find the event had been canceled after releasing a date. Please click through to the event website to confirm! Be safe and have a great fall!
2024 Events
I don’t think that you really need to go to another state in order to enjoy Oktoberfest if you live in Colorado. But here are a few surrounding states if you would like to see what they do for Oktoberfest: Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Wyoming.

Past Events
We hope you enjoy these celebrations of Oktoberfest. Let us know below which one you've headed to and which one you like the best!
We have added maps with the locations of each Oktoberfest. We may not have had the exact location for each Oktoberfest so in some instances we have placed the marker in the general vicinity of the Oktoberfest. Be sure to get specific directions from another source and do not solely rely on our map at the moment. We have also noticed that the markers may not show up on some mobile browsers. We will work to sort out this bug in the future.
Please confirm dates, locations and activities available at the Oktoberfest before going. That's one reason that we provide a website address when we find one. We attempt to ensure that the information for each Oktoberfest is accurate but there are bound to be a few errors. If you let us know when you find one, we will fix it. In some cases, we may link to last year's event when information for this year is not yet available. Do not be fooled.
The festivals listed range in size. Some events may have hundreds of thousands of attendees. Others may have only a handful. We're sorry that we don't have more information about attendance numbers at the moment. We will do our best to add this information as time goes on.
Professionalism varies as well. Some Oktoberfests are professional operations with large budgets. Others are local operations run by volunteers. Do your due diligence before making plans to attend so that you know what to expect. We will happily publish information about your experience with any Oktoberfest so that our visitors will be better informed in the future.
Some Oktoberfests are more family friendly than others. If you have small children, look for an Oktoberfest that has activities for kids. Other events start out with family friendly activities and become more adult oriented as it becomes later in the evening.
Not all Oktoberfest celebrations will be authentic German festival experiences. Some may simply be an excuse to drink rather than celebrate German heritage. Some may call themselves Oktoberfest but provide local or seasonal beer rather than authentic German Oktoberfest beer. Be sure to consider the type of celebration that you are looking to attend when you pick your Oktoberfest.
Activities offered at each Oktoberfest varies. Some activities that you may find are parades, keg tapping ceremony, beer gardens, Miss Oktoberfest or costume contests, stein holding contests, bratwurst eating contest, chicken dance, wiener races, keg toss, live German bands and local entertainment, polka dancing and fairground games. Some Oktoberfest events will just have beer and brats.
Please don't drink and drive. We want everyone to get home safe. Use a designated driver or take public transportation. Uber and Lyft often offer ride credits for new users.
We've got some other resources that would help you prepare for Oktoberfest as well. Read about the history of Oktoberfest. Learn about Oktoberfest beer. Find the words to Oktoberfest music. Plan your Oktoberfest outfit. And try cooking some of these Oktoberfest recipes.
Do you run one of the Oktoberfests listed? Feel free to send us additional information and we will add it. We apologize for any errors: send us corrections or updates if you find them! We also love to list new Oktoberfests, and have advertising solutions if you'd like to reach a wider audience.

Just an FYI for you. I was trying to find more info on the Oktoberfest here in Montrose, COLORADO. I clicked on your link, and it takes me to the Oktoberfest in Montrose, CALIFORNIA. As much as I would love to see the beaches and all, I much prefer the awesomeness we have here in Colorado. 🙂
Thanks for letting me know! I’ve fixed it. I hope you found the right website and had fun!
When will you have dates for 2013?
I looked last month and very few festivals had posted 2013 dates on their own websites. I’m going to make an effort over the next month to reach out to them and get them posted.
was just checking thru the various festivals (nice compilation page!), and found updated info for the Estes Park “Oktoberfest” festival. I’ve included the updated website link above for your reference in updating this page.
Thank you for your efforts in pulling together info on the various festivals!
Thank you for your help! I’ve just updated it.
The Colorado Springs Oktoberfest has changed locations from the Tutt Blvd location. The new location is at the Citadel Mall, northeast parking lot, 3705 Citadel Drive East, Colorado Springs, CO 80909. If you could change that information for us that’d be great. I work for the office that is putting together the Colorado Springs Oktoberfest and I just want to say we appreciate such a convenient website for our Oktoberfest to be shown in.
How can I add more information about the Parker Oktoberfest… it’s our 10th Annual Parker Oktoberfest and we have some special things going on this year that we would like to have listed.
Thank you!
