Polka Dance Your Way to Sugar Mountain Resort’s 35th Annual Oktoberfest, October 11 & 12

Polka Dance your way to Sugar Mountain Resort’s 35th annual Oktoberfest celebration, Saturday & Sunday, October 11 & 12 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Festival goers will enjoy beautiful fall foliage, cool mountain temperatures, and a weekend full of family fun activities. Admission, parking, and shuttle service are free.

The Harbour Towne Fest Band, celebrating 21 years of performing at Sugar’s Oktoberfest, will once again bring the sounds of Bavaria to the heart of Sugar Mountain. They will have your hands clapping and your feet dancing as you sing along to the beer toasting tunes while bratwurst, knockwurst, sauerkraut, strudel, pretzels, hot dogs, hamburgers, soda, and other festive foods delight your appetite. And the star of the show, Bavaria’s Spaten Oktoberfest beer will flow abundantly.

Hayrides, corn hole, pumpkin bowling, water balloon tossing, fun times with Sugar and Sweetie Bear, and an array of bounce houses will entertain the little ones all day long. Guests of every age can enjoy gliding from Sugar Mountain’s 4,100’ base to its 5,300’ peak aboard the roomy and comfortable Summit Express chairlift. Spectacular views can be seen along the ride and from the mountain’s peak. Do not leave home without your traditional attire because everyone is encouraged to dorn a dirndl or lederhosen for the Saturday afternoon Bavarian costume contest. Local & regional arts & crafts and fun food vendors will sprawl their wares on the grounds of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort. Winter-weather-wear will be available at the Sugar Mountain Sports & Gift Shop while Bavarian knick-knacks can be purchased from the Oktoberfest souvenir tent.
