Oktoberfest is the annual festival of beer, music and celebration of autumn. It's a time to bring out your lederhosen and dirndls and raise your steins to the most popular party in the world. Park City Mountain is hosting a weekend full of oompah parties with traditional German fare in Canyons Village. Festivities include brat eating, keg bowling and stein lifting contests, yodeling, alpenhorn blowing and Bavarian dancers.
