Get ready, Utah! Snowbird’s Oktoberfest is returning for its 53rd year, and it’s set to be the best one yet. From Aug. 9th to Oct. 12th, 2025, Snowbird will transform into a Bavarian wonderland every Saturday and Sunday, plus Labor Day. With expanded offerings, a larger footprint, and a refreshed look, this year's Oktoberfest promises more fun, food, and festivity than ever before.

Bavarian Delights and Beer Galore

This year, Oktoberfest is stepping up its game. Picture yourself savoring traditional Bavarian dishes like Jaeger Schnitzel and Bratwursts, or perhaps trying an Oktoberfest-inspired Flammekueche Pizza. And let's not forget the beer! With over 50 varieties, including the special Save the Lake Pilsner from Salt Flats Brewing, your taste buds are in for a treat. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from the Pilsner will support conservation efforts for the Great Salt Lake. So, you can drink up and feel good about it!
