About this event
Denver Oktoberfest takes over Larimer Street between 20th and 22nd across two weekends, September 18 through 20 and September 25 through 27, with the main entrance at 21st and Larimer. Fridays run 3 PM to midnight, Saturdays 11 AM to midnight, and Sundays 11 AM to 6 PM. General admission is free, so German food booths, beer tents, and late-night bites see continuous street traffic once gates open. Operators along the Ballpark blocks catch the densest snack demand Friday and Saturday evenings when the party vibe peaks, with calmer family windows Sunday afternoons around the Long Dog Derby.
