When it is 106 outside I don’t even think about Oktoberfest. But on Mt. Lemmon, they can’t wait each year for October to get here so they start Oktoberfest in the middle of September.
I admitted last year I was late to getting to this. I’ll chalk it up to all the hot weather we have had this year. But there are still plenty of Brats to be eaten and sauerkraut to be smelled on the mountain.
The Celebration will continue to day as the third weekend of Oktoberfest comes to a close.
Next weekend will be the last of the four weekends that make up Mt Lemmon Oktoberfest.
Information is sketchy at best for this years events. It goes till 5 pm. There is a fee for getting on the mountain and a $4 parking fee (so I’ve heard).
The weather is cool and it will certainly feel like a German Oktoberfest right here in the Arizona Southwest.
If you can’t make it up the mountain today. Put it on your calendar for next weekend as it will be the last for this year.
