2nd annual RC Chili Cookoff Benefiting
Family-friendly
Oktoberfest lands in Denver as autumn settles in. Beer festivals and Bavarian nights bring the giant steins and the lederhosen, and there's no rule saying you have to dance. Come with a group and the food does the work, bratwurst and pretzels on nearly every menu, long tables downtown where you end up talking to everyone, and live music loud enough to fill the gaps. If one quiet beer is the whole ambition, that works. Take a look at Oktoberfest 2026 events and parties across Denver and book your tickets before they're claimed.

Denver's Oktoberfest has run since 1969. The city backs it up with German-style lager brewed to the purity law and a bakery that has been at it for decades.
