Guten Tag! Payette’s Annual Oktoberfest Celebration is Back!
Friday, September 18 » 5 - 10 PM
Saturday, September 19 » 2 - 10 PM
[Sunday 9/20 we will honor leftover tokens for bier, but will not be selling additional steins or tokens. And the event will move entirely into the Tap Room & Beer Garden that day.]
Ladies and lads, Oktoberfest is BACK! We're kicking things off the same weekend as Munich — and throwing down two full days of bier, brats, and Bavarian fun! Break out the lederhosen and dirndl dresses, and celebrate Oktoberfest at Payette Provisions!
COST
ENTRY » Free — All ages welcome!
Oktoberfest Branded 20oz Stein » $8 each | Fill not included
TOKENS » $8 each | Use tokens for bier fills:
• 1 token = 20oz fill
• 1 token = 2 Acme Bakeshop pretzels
PURCHASE PRESALE » Skip the line and reserve your stein and tokens ahead of time! Steins are limited, so secure your today! All presale items will be picked up at the event!
PLEASE NOTE » All stein and token purchases are final — no returns or refunds.
Bringing a Payette branded stein from a previous year? Great! You’re welcome to use it, but you’ll still need to purchase tokens for fills.
Steins are available first come, first served until we run out!
If you’re using an old one-liter Payette stein it will cost 2 tokens to fill up and old 1/2 liter Payette steins will cost 1 token to fill up.
(Must be Payette Oktoberfest branded steins or boots to use at the event, otherwise our team cannot fill it).
PRO TIP » Bring cash! During high-volume events, our POS and Wi-Fi try to keep the party going, but it never hurts to have a backup plan.
LADS & LADIES
WHO CAN COME » Open to all ages! Bier drinking is for 21+ only, so please bring a valid ID. We have a third party security team checking all ID’s to receive a wristband.
DOGS » Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome, but due to the high volume of people, we encourage you to leave your furry friends at home.
FIT THE PART » We’re bringing Germany to Boise, so come dressed to impress! Lederhosen, dirndls, and Bavarian hats are highly encouraged. We’ll be crowning Mr. & Mrs. Oktoberfest (best dressed) on both Friday and Saturday! Prizes for the winners!
