The 2012 Snowbird Oktoberfest

One of Utah's finest traditions returns this weekend full of beer, bratwurst, sauerkraut, apple strudel, pretzels and Bavarian roasted almonds. New this year, Snowbird will be offering a wine and cheese booth, as well as Belgian Liége Waffles and Pommes Frites.

Oktoberfest runs every Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day through Oct. 7 from noon to 6 p.m. The Alphorns also perform on Hidden Peak everyday of Oktoberfest at 3:15 p.m.

Attracting over 70,000 visitors over the sixteen-day celebration, Oktoberfest has grown to become one of the largest festivals in the state of Utah. Oktoberfest includes Oktoberfest Halle featuring the tastes of Bavaria with entertainment from local and national German bands and yodelers. Kinderland fun for children, Der Marktplatz will allow shoppers to browse through a variety of local crafters and of course local craft beer.

Prost!
