Breckenridge Oktoberfest Guide 2025 

Why You’ll Want to Be Here 

Every fall, Breckenridge turns Main Street into a Bavarian-style block party. From September 12–14, 2025, the 28th annual Oktoberfest brings live music, local beers, and great food to town, all surrounded by crisp mountain air and fall colors. 

It’s a weekend to take at your own pace, stein in hand, chatting with friends, and enjoying everything Breck has to offer.

What to Sip, Savor, and Do 

Raise a Local Pour 

Breckenridge Brewery will be pouring their Märzen and Festbier, alongside guest breweries serving crisp lagers, wheat beers, and IPAs. Cider, wine, and non-alcoholic options are also available. 

Sample Bavarian Bites 

Main Street vendors serve up bratwursts, giant pretzels, roasted nuts, and apple strudel. Perfect for grabbing a bite between drinks. 

Enjoy the Music 

Polka bands set the tone early in the day, while folk-rock bands take the stage as evening approaches. Bring comfortable shoes. Dancing is encouraged. 

Test Your Stamina 

The stein-holding contest always draws a crowd. The Oktoberfest 5K finishes right at Blue River Plaza, perfect for runners who want to cool down with a cold one. Registration opens later this summer. 

Insider Tips from Locals 

Oktoberfest is even better when you make a weekend of it. Add a hike up Boreas Pass, an evening paddle on Maggie Pond, or a casual bike ride along the Blue River Rec Path. Check out our fall guide for the best scenic drives and quiet local trails to explore while you’re here.
