Four Peaks Oktoberfest is one of Arizona’s largest Oktoberfest celebrations, bringing a taste of Bavaria to Tempe Town Lake. The festival features live music across multiple stages, including traditional polka bands and popular local acts. The main draw is often the wide selection of craft beers, particularly Four Peaks Brewing Co. offerings, served in beer gardens. You’ll find plenty of German-inspired food like bratwurst, schnitzel, and giant pretzels, alongside other festival fare.

Beyond food and drink, the event often includes a full carnival, a Kinderfest (children’s area) with activities, and various contests like wiener dog races. The vibe is festive and lively, attracting a mix of families during the day and a more adult crowd in the evenings. This is a seasonal, weekend event.
