What’s better than a long holiday weekend? An excuse to spend the long holiday weekend drinking outside with friends! Just kidding. But seriously, we’re so excited to be having an Oktoberfest celebration all weekend long over Indigenous Peoples’/Columbus Day! With a chill in the air and bright orange leaves, hanging in the courtyard will be at its peak this fall season. Both Saturday and Sunday we’ve filled with activities and events for the whole family to enjoy! There will be face painting, pumpkin carving, stein hoisting, keg tossing, beer tasting and more. Enjoy German fare and beverages all weekend (don’t forget to buy a commemorative 22oz stein to fill all weekend long)! This event will be held in conjunction with Community Day, plus our usual mountain activities will be going on as well.
