August 29, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR Leave a Comment

Massive steins loaded with lager. Lederhosen and laced-up dirndl. You know what this means – OKTOBERFEST! And this year, for the first time ever, a local spin on the classic German festival will pitch the beer tent a bit closer to home.

This weekend, Park City Mountain’s Canyons Village will transform itself into a mini-Munich, loaded with fun for the entire fam. The beer starts flowing tomorrow (Friday, August 30), after the official opening ceremonies and doesn’t stop until 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Attending Oktoberfest is free – and all ages are welcome. Here’s a look at the weekend fun!

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in / ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of North America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City Mountain. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.

The Colony is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and 5 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.
