Be Part of the Return of Oktoberfest in Durango

After years away, Oktoberfest is making its long-awaited return to Durango! Join us September 26–27 at Buckley Park for a weekend of live music, authentic German food, craft beer, family-friendly activities, and community celebration.

The Durango Farmers Market is honored to be the 2026 nonprofit beneficiary of Oktoberfest. Proceeds from the festival help support our mission to strengthen local agriculture, connect our community with local farmers and ranchers, and provide educational programs and events that strengthen our local food system year-round.

To make this year's festival even more memorable, the Durango Farmers Market is proud to host two exclusive premium experiences designed to elevate your Oktoberfest weekend.

Saturday VIP Experience

Treat yourself to the ultimate Oktoberfest Saturday with exclusive access to the VIP Tent. Enjoy premium shaded seating near the main stage, an elevated buffet inspired by the bounty of the Durango Farmers Market, exclusive Oktoberfest beer tastings, a private VIP bar, one complimentary drink ticket, a souvenir tasting glass, $5 in Durango Farmers Market Market Tokens, and fun extras like our build-your-own pretzel necklace station.

Sunday VIP Experience

Slow down and savor Sunday with the complete VIP experience. Your Sunday VIP ticket includes premium seating in the VIP Tent, Sunday Brunch, a gourmet grazing board available throughout the day, access to the private VIP bar featuring exclusive Oktoberfest beers, one complimentary drink ticket, a souvenir tasting glass, and $5 in Durango Farmers Market Market Tokens.

Sunday Brunch

Looking for a great way to start your Sunday? Join us for a relaxed brunch from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Brunch is available as a standalone ticket or bundled with a drink ticket for a Bloody Mary, Mimosa, or another featured beverage. Sunday VIP guests receive brunch as part of their VIP experience.

Whether you're joining us for the full weekend, upgrading to VIP, or simply stopping by for Sunday Brunch, your participation helps bring back a beloved Durango tradition while supporting the Durango Farmers Market and the farmers, ranchers, and small businesses that make our community unique.
