Labor Day Weekend in the Mountains means Oktoberfest
Kick up your heels and raise your beer stein! Prost to oompah bands and German fare that will make your mouth water!
Here in the mountains , we like to celebrate Keystone Festival’s Oktoberfest a little early to make the most of summer. Celebrate Labor Day Weekend in the mountains where Keystone’s Oktoberfest Celebration is for the entire family! Kids will love Kinderfest, their very own kids Oktoberfest, including make-and-take crafts from The Frosted Flamingo mobile art studio, watch dance performances, and take polka lessons from the Alpen Auerhahn Schuhplattlers. Parents will love the variety of craft beers available all afternoon while taking part in a chicken dance or two.
