HRCA’s Oktoberfest Celebration returns to Highlands Ranch Town Center on Saturday, September 26, 2026! The day kicks off at 9:00 a.m. with the festive Oktoberfest 5K, followed by an afternoon of lively music, delicious food, and plenty of Bavarian-inspired fun beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Enjoy a full lineup of entertainment on the main stage, stein-hoisting competitions, and other crowd favorites throughout the day. Savor classic German bites like bratwurst, pretzels, and schnitzel, and raise a glass to the season with a variety of German-style biers—both imported and locally brewed. Prost!
