Know Before You Go

A little planning makes for a much better Oktoberfest! Here are a few things to know before you head to Town Park:

Alcohol & IDs
A valid government-issued photo ID is required for anyone purchasing or consuming alcohol. Please enjoy responsibly, and remember that alcohol must remain within the designated event area.

Leave the Pups at Home
Dogs are not permitted within the Oktoberfest event area.

Outside Food & Drinks
Outside food and beverages are not permitted. Food, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase during the event.

Rain or Shine
Oktoberfest is a rain-or-shine event, and tickets are non-refundable. October weather in the San Juan Mountains can change quickly, so come prepared with layers and appropriate footwear.

Bring a Chair
Seating is limited, so guests are encouraged to bring a lawn or camp chair and settle in for the afternoon.

Families Welcome
Oktoberfest isn't just about the beer! Families are welcome to enjoy the food, live entertainment, games, competitions, and festivities. Children 6 and under receive free admission.

Personal Tents & Canopies
Please leave personal tents, canopies, and shade structures at home so we can keep event areas and walkways clear.

Parking
Free public parking is available throughout downtown Lake City. Please follow posted parking restrictions and be considerate of neighboring homes and businesses.

Come ready for mountain weather, friendly competition, good food, cold beer, and plenty of Oktoberfest fun. Prost!
