Then test your strength at the famous Stein Hoisting qualification rounds. Once you’ve built up an appetite, visit one of the authentic Bavarian food vendors and grab a seat under the big top to dine. We have two stages playing live music ’round the clock. Want more competition? Then head over to Keg Bowling for more free entertainment. Once you’re warmed up, head to the main stage and get your Polka on!

Can I Bring Denver Oktoberfest Steins From Previous Years? - Yes, we will honor September 2015 all previous steins for the refill price.
