Prepare for a memorable Oktoberfest experience as one of Colorado’s most iconic events returns to historic downtown Breckenridge from September 12-14, 2025. The 28th annual Breckenridge Oktoberfest, presented by Breckenridge Brewery, will blend cherished traditions with exclusive collectible steins and the distinct flavors of Breckenridge Brewery, our premier beer sponsor for this year. Beer pouring starts at 2:00 pm Friday and 11:00 am Saturday & Sunday! Prost 🍻

All pre-purchased steins that are not picked up by 2:00pm on Sunday will be released and sold to the public. No refunds will be issued for unclaimed steins. Pre-purchase your stein for the best value! Pre-purchased stein sales will end Thursday, September 11 at 5:00pm.
Cost: $40 each
2024 steins will be sold at the Riverwalk Center, 150 W. Adams Ave, Breckenridge, CO during the event and typically sell out by Saturday afternoon.

All steins can be picked up and purchased at the Riverwalk Center.

The new 2024 Oktoberfest Steins and festival wristbands.
Welcome to the future of festivals! New this year, everyone 21+ will need to pick up an event wristband. This will show that you’re 21+, and connects to your credit card for easy beer-buying. Wristbands will make Oktoberfest easier and more enjoyable by cutting down beer lines and stream-lining purchasing. Once you get your wristband, you can activate it by using your smartphone, visiting a transaction booth, or by using a self-serve kiosk. Wristbands allow you to purchase beer, wine, and cider, but cannot be used to purchase food. Food vendors will take credit cards and cash.
Throughout the weekend, attendees can sip, sample and savor several styles of Breckenridge Brewery beers, including their signature Oktoberfest brew, while soaking up breathtaking views of the Ten Mile Range. In addition to Breckenridge Brewery beer, guests can enjoy a selection of wines and cocktails, along with traditional German food and classic festival fare.
Where can I park?
Breckenridge’s downtown parking lots are paid and traditionally fill up fast. The most convenient parking will be in the South Gondola Parking Structure at 150 Watson Avenue. Guests can also park for free on Airport Rd. and take the Gray Route bus into downtown. Guests should plan to arrive early and park in the same spot for the day.
How do I get around?
While we recommend going carless in Breckenridge, if you do need to rent or drive your car, make sure you visit GoI70.com to learn the best times to travel to avoid congestion. We expect this to be a very busy weekend and encourage viewers to carpool, rideshare and use shuttles/buses if they are visiting from Denver. The Breck FreeRide bus picks up and drops off throughout Breckenridge, and the Summit Stage bus connects Breckenridge and its surrounding towns. Once you are here, we recommend exploring by foot or taking the Breckenridge FreeRide transportation throughout the day.
What if I ended up drinking, but didn’t plan on it?
If you’re planning on drinking at Breckenridge Oktoberfest, please do not drive. Provided you’re parked legally, it’s OK to remain parked on town streets on the Friday and Saturday nights of Breckenridge Oktoberfest. All vehicles parked overnight must be moved before the following day’s parking enforcement begins. Please make note that Breckenridge now has paid parking throughout town and is implemented from 8:00am through 8:00pm daily.
Is there a place for my bike?
Bike parking (bring your own lock) will be available at the Sons of Norway park, just south of Blue River Plaza, across the river from the Riverwalk Center lawn.
Enjoy fall in Breckenridge with spectacular views and crisp mountain air.
