Description

Prost! Four Peaks Brewing Oktoberfest is back for its 51styear at Tempe Town Lake! The three-day outdoor Bavarian themed festival kicks off Friday, October 11 through Sunday, October 13, 2024. It is open to all ages and features live music all weekend across two stages including music headliners Black Moods and Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, among many others, German food, drinks, games, carnival rides, dancing and more.

This year, exciting new rides await, like the Freakout—swinging and spinning in tandem—and the sky-high swing thriller, Vertigo. Guests can also anticipate new beers flowing from Four Peaks Brewing, such as the Bad Birdie Juicy Golden Ale, Desert Daydream Imperial IPA, Desert Daydream Tropical IPA, and Desert Daydream Hazy IPA. For those seeking more excitement, the Arizona Sports League will offer adult coed volleyball, soccer, and kickball throughout the weekend. Returning favorites include the Weiner Dog Races, the lively local celebrity bratwurst eating contest, comedy performances by Tempe Standup, the Amateur Stein Holding Competition, and the Frank Kush Foundation Runnin’ for the Brats.

The annual fundraiser benefits Tempe Sister Cities, an internationally recognized non-profit founded in 1970. The proceeds from Oktoberfest are used to send Tempe high school students to nine of Tempe’s sister cities. Four Peaks Brewing returns as the event’s title sponsor, joined by key sponsors Gila River Resorts & Casino, the Arizona State Lottery, and Waymo, the official rideshare partner of the festival.
