Oktoberfest
Oompah music, bratwursts, beers and lederhosen! Germany comes to Vail, Beaver Creek and Gypsum every autumn. The American twist on Germany’s Oktoberfest even comes with a professional yodeler or two. Vail Oktoberfest was named among the ten greatest Oktoberfest celebrations in the United States by USA Today!
Heart & Soul Music Festival
Plan a trip to the Vail Valley in September, right around the height of the fall season, and enjoy Avon’s newest festival, the Heart & Soul Music Festival, featuring an eclectic and diverse collection of award-winning musicians and singer-songwriters covering the gamut between rock, reggae, funk, rhythm & blues, funk, and soul.
Locals Tip: Staying hydrated is extremely important when you are at high altitude – especially when you are drinking alcohol. Drink one glass of water for every alcoholic drink to ensure you stay hydrated.

Hike Wine and Dine is a very relaxed five-mile hike in the middle of the fall’s leaf season that encourages meandering, long conversations and frequent stops to enjoy the many culinary cocktail options. This is a fundraiser for Jack’s Place, A Cancer Caring House.
