Weekend Street Party
Munich meets Breckenridge on Saturday and Sunday for the town’s 17th annual Oktoberfest. Main Street closes and comes to life as a street party with traditional costumes, German food, Oompah and polka music, Bavarian dancers, children’s activities, a keg-tapping ceremony, 5k run and, of course, Paulaner bier.
The Main Street Party features more than two dozen food vendors, lots of dancing and a weekend of fun. Please leave your best four legged friends at home as they are not very good polka dancers when the smell of sausage is in the air.
