π» Oktoberfest Tips & Tricks
Be sure to have the map handy, and check out the events calendar so you donβt miss the alphorns!
Thereβs a new shuttle service this year! Check out the details and make your free reservation here.
If youβve been to Oktoberfest before, you can bring your mug from a past year and get the refill price. Theyβll honor your souvenir mug from any year (all the way back to 1972!), so always keep your eye out for Snowbird Oktoberfest glasses at thrift stores!
Beyond the many food tents and Oktoberfest Halle, you can also eat at Snowbirdβs restaurants - including The Summit if youβre willing to ride the Scenic Tram.
Oktoberfest parking costs $15 per-car ($30 for valet). Thereβs free parking along the highway on a first-come, first-served basis. You can find parking details here. If youβre going with friends, youβll want to carpool!
Thereβs a new bag policy this year. Bags over 6β x 9β must be clear. Bags will be checked - no outside food and beverage, including alcohol.
If youβre interested in Scenic Tram rides or Summer Activities (the mountain coaster is so much fun!), consider buying those tickets online to save time.
Check out the beer tents on the Skierβs Bridge and Dick Bass Terrace - theyβre usually a bit less crowded.
Grand Oktoberfest from August 30 - September 1 features a parade of musicians and dancers along with a ceremonial keg tapping.
