Munich Comes To Denver |
2100 Larimer Street (Ballpark Neighborhood) Denver, CO 80205 United States +1 303 685 8143 http://www.oktoberfestdenver.com |
When it comes to the great German celebration, Denver bends the rules a bit. Instead of having Oktoberfest in the traditional month, organizers opted for the middle weeks of September, due to the occasional snowstorms that bury Denver in October. The festival transforms Larimer Square into a German village and brings out the polka bands, cooks up the wurst and pours plenty of beer. Kids can have fun in a castle maze that winds through the streets and even march in the 'world's shortest parade'. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
