Weekend off the Wagon – September 21-23
They serve beer at Oktoberfest. Crazy.
Weekend off the Wagon in your inbox, every Friday
It’s a light weekend for events in Denver. As in, there aren’t 400 festivals to choose from, just two or three.
All weekend long, Larimer between 20th and 22nd is shut down for your lederhosen enjoyment at the 43rd Annual Denver Oktoberfest. The entertainment on the street is pretty wild, but make sure you stop in the bars along the street as well – they’re open and they have awesome beers and specials as well.
Sunday, join the Wagon and Imbibe Denver at Ghost for the Beer Cocktail Shakedown.

We’re looking forward to fall and another season to celebrate this beautiful and bountiful time of year with your favorite brews, music, food and exaltation of all things canine. To help you find your inner beer enthusiast, you will find over 25 breweries, micro-distilleries and craft beer-inspired local food pairings. For most of us, that inner enthusiast resides closer to the outer and needs but a gentle nudge. For the rest, we leave it to the creative wizards of hops, malt and timing to coax out the more resistant. There is a lid for every pot or a brew for every palate and we’re here to help you discover what that might be!
