Oktoberfest 2022
Oktoberfest is a German-themed fall festival that takes place through September. Ogden shares a sister-city relationship with Hof, Germany, which adds to the likeness of the annual celebration. Every year, community members celebrate Oktoberfest by participating in competitions, celebrating local beers, eating German dishes, and participating in Oktoberfest traditions.
SnowWiesn at Snowbasin
If you make your way up to Snowbasin on any Sunday in September between 11 a.m.-5 p.m., you’ll find “Bavarian food, craft beer and drinks, live music, a local market, and fun activities.” This year, you can expect a collectible 2022 beer mug, a Mountain Market, a costume competition, live music, and O’zapft Is!, which translates to “It is tapped,” where general manager Davy Ratchford taps the first keg as a Bavarian tradition to kick off Oktoberfest. You will also be able to compete in Hammerschlagen, a competition where you drive a nail into a large tree stump, as well as Masskrugstemmen, a traditional stein-holding competition, according to the Snowbasin website.
