LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON, Utah. – Oktoberfest at Snowbird is a family-friendly affair with activities, food, and, of course, brews for days — weeks actually, Snowbird said in a statement. The festival begins tomorrow and lasts through mid-October, taking place every Saturday and Sunday, along with Labor Day.

The event runs from Noon – 6 pm.

Admission: FREE
 
Parking: $10 per car
 
The origins of Oktoberfest date back to 19th-century Bavaria, when King Ludwig called for a state fair in Munich to celebrate his autumn marriage. Here in Utah, it wasn’t until 1972 — 1 year after Snowbird opened — when the festival took root.
 
No pets are allowed in the canyon, in the lodges, or kept in vehicles during your visit, except by special permit (canyon residents, rescue, and service dogs). Little Cottonwood Canyon is part of the Salt Lake City Protected Watershed. For more information, visit keepitpure.com .
 
The annual festival includes a Biergarten offering more than 50 varieties of beer. This includes traditional German-style beers and those made by Utah breweries. Beer steins will be for sale. Oktoberfest food choices include select German favorites, such as bratwurst, weisswurst, sauerkraut, apple strudel, spaetzle, pretzels and Bavarian roasted almonds. Beer and food are purchased a la carte.

I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
