A new twist on an old tradition!
Howdy Folks!
The Golden Civic Foundation has partnered with home-town legend Coors Brewing Co. to present Oktoberfest with a Wild West kick! Our 2023 Wild West Oktoberfest will highlight Golden’s unique history and culture and celebrate the Golden community with a two-day festival featuring Western and German activities including live music, fun contests, great food, and of course, great BEER! Friday evening we’ll host a smaller, high-end Bavarian bash for adult, Golden-residents. Saturday’s all-day festivities will be open to the general public and will include adult and family-friendly activities. And to make things even cooler, all proceeds will benefit the Golden Civic Foundation and our work For the Good of Golden - aka the Golden community!

BEER
We're excited to partner with AC Golden to be serving their hand-crafted flavors at our event! Celebrating their 15th Anniversary, AC Golden is craft brewery located inside the Coors Brewery in Golden. Their brewing team has over 150 years of collective brewing experience(that's with 7 brewers total!), and all in all, there is a team of 15 people that run the entire brewing company! The Coors family obviously has deep roots here in Golden and a huge reputation around the Globe, so naturally we're getting thirsty thinking about the 8 different flavors we'll have on tap this year, including a special Oktoberfest Lager for us all to enjoy!
