There is nothing German here! Steamboat is as Western Colorado as it gets and that is how they celebrate everything including Oktoberfest. Celebrate the season at a Steamboat-style Oktoberfest with music, food, beer, games and activities for kids and adults, chef competition and much more. Good Rocky Mountain Colorado beer, Colorado food and Steamboat style festivities, now thats Steamboat Springs Oktoberwest!
Events 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.

Labor Day weekend in Steamboat. I’m not even sure where to begin as we have so much fun stuff going on, so I thought I’d do a little video instead. So listen to a jumpy little summer tune this afternoon and watch our quick video then head up to Steamboat for an amazing weekend. Wild West Air Fest, Pro Bull Riding Bash, Mainstreet Chuckwagon/Chili Hoedown, Steamboat Sidewalk Sale, First Friday Artwalk, Stockdog Challenge, hangin’ by the river. The list goes on. So watch then wipe the drool from your chinny chin chin, pack up the car and head on up. (oh and did we mention temperatures are in the upper 70′s all weekend) kind of perfect.
