Breckenridge Events

Breckenridge has so many popular events going on in September that we couldn't narrow it down to just one! It all kicks off with the 3-day Labor Day Weekend featuring the Rubber Duck Race and the Great Divide Arts Festival.

Then we go into a 3-day weekend (Fri-Sun) of Oktoberfest, where you can taste beers from local breweries but also wine, cocktails, and of course, German cuisine and polka.

The following Thursday is the start of the Breckenridge Film Fest which is another not-to-be-missed Breck event that spans 4 days with more film submissions than ever before.

We then close out the month and go into October with a weekend of Strings, Ciders and Sours. The tough part is choosing which weekend to be here - we suggest spending the whole month here!

Check out the GoBreck website for dates and details. 

Frisco Fall Fest 

This festival features "Arts at Altitude" show and sale. It's a great way to check out local and regional art curated by the Summit County Arts Council in the Frisco Historic Park. You can also create your own art! This is a great event for the whole family. 

Don't worry, there will be plenty of beer, pretzels and polka too - learn more!

Copper Live - Free live music series

Later in the month, make your way over to Cooper Mountain for their flagship free live music series. Presented by 10 Barrel Brewing, this year will headline Rewind the afternoon of September 23. Wear your  favorite Rock N Roll band t-shirt and just try not to dance to these 70's, 80's, and 90's cover tunes! Get more details here.
