‘Not Oktoberfest’
There’s a good chance you’ve heard of Snowbird’s Oktoberfest. A German themed, beer-centric festival in the beautiful Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Well, another resort decided to put their spin on it and take it on a more family friendly direction.

Brighton’s ‘Not Oktoberfest’ is a free family friendly event that’s just begun and runs every weekend through October 12th.
It has something for everyone! Giant foosball, cornhole, axe throwing, a mechanical bull, DJ’s and more.
If you’re a foodie then buckle up. The main event will be the ‘'Foodie Wars’’ where the executive chef at Brighton will go up against other Utah restaurants in a cook off.

Of course, if you want to go and get some massive steins of beer that will also be available. It has Oktoberfest in the name for a reason! 🍺
