Beer, music and German culture lovers flock to the 2009 Oktoberfest celebration

It's a big week for beer lovers in Denver, as Oktoberfest, Denver Beer Fest and Great American Beer Fest turn this already beer-friendly city into a brew-lover's paradise.

Oktoberfest, a celebration of beer, food, music and German culture takes place in Denver's Ballpark Neighborhood on Larimer Street (between 20th and 22nd streets) on September 18-20th and 25-27th. It is an annual tradition that has been around for 40 years, but this year the celebration is particularly special -- festival organizers announced that it will be the final Oktoberfest celebration in Denver, at least in its current incarnation.

 

So, don't miss your chance to partake in this exciting free event, have some brews from Paulaner and Anheuser-Busch, dig into the hearty food from numerous local vendors (including Helga's and Colorado Buffalo Grill), and catch some great live musical acts on two festival stages.
