Raise a glass to fall in Truckee. Truckee Oktoberfest is a mountain-town celebration filled with local flavor, fresh air, community spirit, and a full weekend of events hosted by local businesses throughout town.

This isn't your average Oktoberfest. Alongside craft beer, brats, pretzels, and live music, you'll find guided hikes, yoga, coffee tastings, family activities, games, outdoor adventures, and seasonal food and drink experiences. Spend the weekend exploring Truckee one stop at a time.

Whether you're here for the beer, the trails, the food, or simply the crisp mountain air, there's something happening all weekend long.
