Dates announced for 2024 Four Peaks Brewing Oktoberfest

Four Peaks Brewing Oktoberfest is back for its 51st year at Tempe Town Lake, bringing back the three-day outdoor Bavarian-themed festival from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13.

It’s open to all ages and features live music all weekend across two stages including music headliners Black Moods and Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, among many others, German food, drinks, games, carnival rides, dancing and more, a press release explained.

This year, exciting new rides await, like the Freakout — swinging and spinning in tandem — and the sky-high swing thriller, Vertigo. Guests can also anticipate new beers flowing from Four Peaks Brewing, the release noted.

For those seeking more excitement, the Arizona Sports League will offer adult coed volleyball, soccer and kickball throughout the weekend.

Returning favorites include the Weiner Dog Races, the lively local celebrity bratwurst eating contest, comedy performances by Tempe Standup, the Amateur Stein Holding Competition and the Frank Kush Foundation Runnin’ for the Brats.

The annual fundraiser benefits Tempe Sister Cities, an internationally recognized non-profit founded in 1970. The proceeds from Oktoberfest are used to send Tempe high school students to nine of Tempe’s sister cities.

General admission is $25 on Friday and Saturday. Admission is free on Sunday and attendees 20 and younger are free all weekend.

Additionally, discounted early bird presale tickets are available online now for $16 through Aug. 1, and VIP tickets are available for purchase online for the Jägermeister VIP Backstage Experience. Volunteer opportunities are available for free admission as well.
