About the only place cold enough around Tucson to hold an Oktoberfest is Mt. Lemmon and they do a bang up job of it every year by holding Oktoberfest over four weekends each year. It started this year as Septemberfest on September 22-23 & 29-30. Then as the weather turns even colder Oktoberfest continues on October 6-7 & 13-14.
It was my intended goal to make it up the the festival, get some pictures on that first weekend and post them with more information; that obviously didn’t happen. It is on the agenda for this weekend, but since there are just two weekends left I want to get this post out there for those wanting to venture to the top of the mountain and grab some great food and entertainment.
- On Ski Valley’s third deck, bands directed by John Prokop will perform traditional German music Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 14.
- Traditional German dance performances by Bela Vrucina will be on Sundays.
- German beer and foods will be served at The Iron Door Restaurant in various combinations.
- The Miner’s Sweet Tooth will be selling treats, including German Chocolate Fudge
- The Mother Lode Gift Shop will be selling beer steins and clothing.
- Those attending are encouraged dress warm and bring chairs and blankets.
- There is no charge but you will have a $4 parking fee.
Did you know Ski Valley being the southernmost ski lodge in the continental United States?
