Breckenridge Oktoberfest
If that isn’t enough to sate your appetite for lederhosen, then be sure to make time for the three-day Breckenridge Oktoberfest from Sept. 6-8. The 25th annual festival stretches from Lincoln Avenue south to Jefferson Avenue, filling the streets with food, music, games and other revelry.
The fun begins at 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, with a ceremonial keg tapping at Blue River Plaza. The party continues until 6, with performances by Those Austrian Guys from 2-5 at the plaza’s north stage and Pine Beatles from 2-5 on the south stage near Ollie’s Pub & Grub. Those Austrian Guys return to the stage at 11 a.m. Saturday as the Polkanauts perform at 2 p.m. on the south stage. The music will continue at 11 a.m. Sunday with the Summit Concert Band on the north stage and Pokanauts to the south while Those Austrian Guys play at 12:30 p.m. at the north stage.
Friday night at 6:30 is also the time to enjoy the multicourse brewmaster dinner — which sold out in early June — at Sauce on the Maggie. Taking over the roughly 150-seat restaurant, diners will enjoy an antipasto course paired with Paulaner Lager or Leonard Kreusch Sapphire Riesling, a beer cheese soup paired with Paulaner Hefe-Weizen or Leonard Kreusch Sapphire Riesling, pork schnitzel and spaetzle mac and cheese paired with Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn or Leonard Kreusch Estate Gewurtztraminer, short ribs and scalloped potatoes paired with Paulaner Salvator or Pflücken Semidry Riesling and, for dessert, apple strudel paired with Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen or Leonard Kreusch Piesporter Michelsberg Spatlese.

Frisco Fall Fest
Since 2012, the Frisco Fall Fest has been the autumnal activity of choice for locals and visitors in town. The annual event features food and drink, local art, music and rustic furniture.
A major draw is the Flavors of Frisco, a tent set up on Main Street that has 12 Frisco restaurants selling delicious small plates ranging from $2–$6. Now in its sixth year, restaurants like Ein Prosit will serve sausage and pretzels, Bagalis will roast a whole pig for tacos, and Next Page Books and Nosh will ladle out butternut squash soup and chili from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7.
Though the Flavors of Frisco portion of the festival ends Saturday evening, the fun continues Sunday, Sept. 8, with the second and final day of the art show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you don’t spend all of your tickets on Saturday, don’t worry. Participating restaurants still will accept them throughout the weekend.
