Flagstaff Oktoberfest Activities

You ask, what is there to do at Flagstaff Oktoberfest....Well, besides the usual merrymaking, how about these fun contests:

• Weiner Man Race: Grab a partner, put on our Hot Dog Costumes and see if you have what it takes to get through our obstacle course.  
• Men’s and Women’s Beer Stein Holding Contest: Are you buff and brawn? Sign up for the Beer Stein holding contest.
• Brat-eating Contest: Can you eat your weight in brats? Satchmos will once again host the brat eating contest and even if you don’t participate – it’s a crowd favorite. 
• Frozen T-shirt Contest: How cold can you go? Get a partner and try your best to unthaw a Frozen T-shirt.

Eat & Drink at Oktoberfest

What else is at the Flagstaff Oktoberfest, you ask? Well, how about the largest selection of cold beer of any Northern Arizona Oktoberfest, as well as wine and cider. To go along with your thirst, there will be several food vendors ready to serve you a variety of eats! Feel like putting on your dancing shoes and listening to some Polka or maybe even one of our great cover bands, then be ready to cut a rug (or grass) and enjoy the music!

This one-day event will have you falling in love with Flagstaff all over again with our crisp nights, cooler days, and a city full of fall colors. On your way down from seeing all the aspens change colors at Snowbowl, stop in at the Flagstaff Oktoberfest and grab a brat, a beer, sit in the park and be a part of a great day of fun with the locals.
