About This Event
Be part of the 6th Annual Oktoberfest celebration with WHS co-founders, Cindy and Angelique!
We’ll kick things off with a beautiful hike to Lakes Mary, Martha, and Catherine via the Brighton Lakes Trail. After soaking in the alpine views, we’ll head to the Brighton Resort main parking lot for a festive Oktoberfest tailgate — wine hiker style!
Join us for the hike, the tailgate, or both! We’ll bring the food — just pack your favorite stein and brew. Come eat, drink, be merry (and maybe even bust out the chicken dance) at this crowd-favorite event that only gets better every year.
