The air is crisp and leaves are changing – it must be fall! Celebrate the end of the season with Telluride Arts and Stronghouse Brewpub with a classic Oktoberfest and a 5K Beer Fun Run on Saturday, October 7th from 2-7pm in partnership with local and regional breweries.

Festivities will kick off at 2pm with an Inaugural Oktoberfest Beer Fun Run from Telluride Brewing Company in Lawson Hill to “The Bra” in Telluride Town Park, where festivities will await! Lederhosen and dirndls are strongly encouraged! The trail along the Valley Floor will be marked with ribbon. Participants are advised to use public transit to the starting line and meet 15 minutes in advance of the rope drop. Sign up for the Beer Run online here!

Following the race, the Telluride Town Park “Bra” and “Oval” will be bustling with a classic, family-friendly Oktoberfest event with beer by local and regional breweries, German fair, and games from 2-7pm. Live music will be performed by Telluride’s very own German Polka Band lead by Tuck Gillett and singer Bärbel Hacke. Entertainment by Homestead Circus Productions will include stilt-walkers and a living and levitated bronze statue. Kids will be able to create, wear, and eat their very own pretzel necklaces! Games and contests will occur every hour including a sausage toss, stein holding, relay races, and more! Merch and gift card prizes will be up for grabs!
