Oktoberfest Village at Squaw Valley – 2019
Fall is here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, which means it’s time for the annual Oktoberfest event at the Village at Squaw Valley this Saturday, Sept 21, 2019 from 12 noon to 6 p.m.
If you are like me, you are not ready to say good-bye to summer, so come out and celebrate the changing of our seasons at one of our fun fall Oktoberfest events!
We have already had our first dusting of new snow here in Tahoe, so let’s enjoy our warm fall days and have some fun at the annual Oktoberfest event at the Village at Squaw Valley this Saturday!
We love this even and it is hard to not enjoy the Village as it turns itself into a mini Bavarian themed event.
There is live music, authentic food (can anyone say bratwurst?), German brews, and fun games for all ages to enjoy!
Admission is free to the event, but the cost for food and beverages will vary depending on your personal selection.
In the past all beer sale proceeds have gone to the High Sierra Lacrosse Foundation, and they will benefit this year too, so you will be having fun, while helping out a great local group!
Need more reasons to go to this fun event?
Let’s talk games! There will be a keg rolling race, a Brat Toss yes, the ever popular wiener toss is back again, and there is a Stein Holding Competition!
Here is the schedule of games:
- 1 p.m. Keg Rolling
- 2:30 p.m. Brat Toss
- 4 p.m. Stein Holding Competition
I have to admit, my favorite event is the Brat Toss event. You get one chance to toss your brat onto the top of a keg.
It’s not as easy as it looks, but so much fun to watch contestants try!
The Village at Squaw Valley will be featuring a German theme through-out the Village. If you love to dance and sing along then you’ll enjoy the live music, where you’ll get a chance to be part of the action.
Feel like dressing up? You’re encouraged to wear traditional Lederhosen and dirndls, but it’s not required!
To get you in the mood there will be live Bavarian music played featuring Joe Smiell and his 20 piece Bavarian Band. They are awesome and their music will put a smile on your face!
Festival goers that are 21+ and want to enjoy a great German beers can purchase a mug and two beers for $20 that will come in a commemorative beer glass/mug, and all other beers will be $5 with your glass.
For those younger in age, check out the root beer float station! Yes, I can tell you from personal experience this is a delicious, sweet treat too!
Craig (my better half in life) has really enjoyed the brats.
For me I love the over-sized pretzels with mustard, along with an ice cold German Beer.
Later in the afternoon we have hit the Root Beer Float version and that was great way to end our festival day.
We’re expecting blue skies and sunshine.
Day time temperatures will only be in the mid-to high 60’s, which means in the sunshine it will be warm and wonderful, but in the shade, it will be cooler, so wear a jacket and dress in layers.
If you’ll be in the greater Truckee – North Lake Tahoe area this weekend check out this fun fall event.
I know that after I’m done showing properties on Saturday morning, Craig and I, along with Stella our Irish Wolfhound dog will be headed out to Squaw Valley to enjoy our late summer weather and some great German beer.
If you see us, stop us, and say hello! We’d love to meet you!
