SnowWiesn Oktoberfest

Utah's dog-friendly Oktoberfest is back. Named after d'Wiesn, the local nickname for the Oktoberfest fairgrounds in Germany, SnowWiesn is a fall festival set against the backdrop of the Wasatch Range. The event features local craft beers served in authentic Bavarian steins, live music, food vendors, a local market, and family-friendly activities every weekend from late August through October.

Event highlights include:
- Masskrugstemmen: a traditional stein-holding competition where you can compete for a chance to win fun prizes.
- Gelände Quaffing: a two-to-four-person game that tests your hand-eye coordination and creativity; don't let your mug hit the ground!
- Das Boot: How fast can you finish Das Boot?
- Costume Competition: Come in your best Bavarian-themed attire for a chance to show off on the concert stage and compete for fun prizes.
- Cornhole boards in the Wildflower Meadow so you can play with friends.
