Oct. 5 — Flagstaff Oktoberfest celebrates 11 years

FLAGSTAFF — It’s officially time for one of Flagstaff’s favorite events; the Flagstaff Oktoberfest! 

The Flagstaff Oktoberfest, now in its 11th year, is bringing the 10 year celebration back, with gusto. A take two, if you will. The 10-Year Take Two will take place on Saturday, October 5th, from 11am – 8pm in Wheeler Park, and with a whole lot of faith that the weather gods play nice this year.

Flagstaff weather can certainly be unpredictable, like it was last year for the original 10 year celebration or when it snows in May. But one thing we can predict is that the 10-Year Take Two Oktoberfest celebration will be nothing short of epic, maintaining our historically successful track record with over 6,000 attendees, 6 food vendors, and of course lots of beers to choose from.

But the fun doesn’t end with music, food and drinks. As always, we will have all our favorite contests during this event, such as the Coldwell Banker Men’s Beer Stein Holding Contest, Speedi Car Wash Women’s Beer Stein Holding Contest, Prime Lending’s Frozen T-Shirt Contest, The Vienna Beef Weiner Man Race and Satchmo’s BBQ Brat Eating Contest!

Our featured musicians for year ten are the Thirsty Five, Polka Katzan, Dreadknot and The Mike Reeves Band, all excited to perform and celebrate this year’s Oktoberfest!

The Flagstaff Oktoberfest will be benefiting Feeding Northern Arizona’s Future, a local nonprofit that helps feed local kids when school food programs are out, like over the weekend and over summer break.

We would like to thank our sponsors Baked Bros, Hensley Distributors, Flagstaff Subaru, Satchmo’s BBQ, Freemont Station, Canyon Pet Hospital, Grand Canyon Railway and Nackard Beverage Company for helping make this event possible.

Get your Lederhosen out and get ready for Flagstaff Oktoberfest, coming to Wheeler Park on Saturday,  October 5th! This fun filled day will run from 11am-8pm.

Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the gate, kids 12 and under are free.
