Four Peaks Oktoberfest Begins 10/9

From Four Peaks:

Tempe, Ariz. - For more than 40 years, Four Peaks Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake has been the

Valley's place to be for beer, brats, music and more, all benefiting Tempe Sister Cities. 

That won’t change with the 43rd edition set for Oct. 9-11, 2015 at Tempe Town Lake. 

Admission is free and there will be plenty of Bavarian fun including lederhosen, brats from Von

Hanson's and live music on three stages.  

But the 2015 version of Four Peaks Oktoberfest is adding new elements such as a “Sunday

Funday” for the whole family.  The Sunday lineup includes family friendly free events such as:

Kinderfest  presented by Landings Credit Union



Yoga in the Park and Zumbathon



Wiener dog races



Brat eating contest



Carnival



Splash Park

Four Peaks Oktoberfest will also feature the Frank Kush das Foot Race at 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct.

10, at the Tempe Center for the Arts park. A 5K, 10K and 1 mile fun run will take runners and

walkers on a scenic course around Tempe Town Lake.

“Four Peaks Oktoberfest is a signature event for not only Tempe, but the entire Valley,” said

Event Chair Bobbi Jones.  “We're proud to bring together some of the must-haves from years

past along with new elements that enhance the weekend.”

One of the new elements will be a live stream of Friday night's opening ceremonies on

Periscope.  The event will be seen in Tempe's ten Sister Cities from Regensburg, Germany to

Lower Hutt, New Zealand and Timbuktu, Mali.

Live music will be featured all weekend starting with Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row Experience

Friday night.  In all, 27 bands are scheduled to perform on the three different stages during Four

Peaks Oktoberfest.  And, of course, there will be a polka stage and dance floor.

Four Peaks Oktoberfest will offer a Sunday special where attendees can get two beers, one brat

and one stein for $20. Seasonal favorite Pumpkin Porter, a Four Peaks tradition, will be available

on draft, along with Paulenar Oktoberfest, one of only six official beers allowed to be poured for

Oktoberfest in Munich.

During the three day event, it's expected more than 25,000 brats will be consumed along with

over 750 kegs of beer.

“Four Peaks Oktoberfest really offers something for the entire family. It’s a Tempe tradition, for

the tens of thousands that attend and for our 2,000-plus volunteers that make it all happen,” said

Marketing/Entertainment Chair Kathy Schreiner.  “It’s also a tremendous opportunity to promote

Tempe Sister Cities and celebrate the great relationships that are being developed with cities and

students and families all around the globe.”
