Saddleback Oktoberfest
The 4th Annual Oktoberfest is back at Saddleback Mountain on Saturday, October 5, 2024! Munich meets Maine in this fall spectacular celebration. It’s going to be a keg-tossing, stein-hoisting, brat-eating, beer-flowing good ol’ time. Sport your best Oktoberfest dress, dance to live music, check out local vendors and sample craft brews from Orono Brewing Company, Sebago Brewing, Freedom’s Edge and Dasch Seltzer.
Weather permitting, we plan to offer scenic chairlift rides throughout the day. You can purchase a scenic chairlift ride ticket for an additional $20.
Earn your beers! 🍻🍻 The day starts with the annual Oktoberfest 5K Race up the mountain. It’s not a festival without LIVE MUSIC! 🎶🎶 Enjoy performances on the deck from 1-3 p.m. featuring Toby McAllister & The Sierra Sounds.
