You'd better go this year, because the organizers of Downtown Denver's Oktoberfest say they are dumping the festival.
It's been 40 years since Fred and Herta Thomas put on the first festival in Larimer Square. They owned a shop in the area and figured an Oktoberfest would drum up business. 40 years later, Larimer Associates control the event and they say they are done after this year. A press release says the decision "allows the company to refocus its energy and resources on its core real estate business."
Nice, huh?
Anyway, this year's (and hopefully, not last) Downtown Denver Oktoberfest runs this weekend (Sept. 18-20th) and next (Sept. 25-27th) on Larimer Street, between 20th and 22nd Streets, in the ballpark neighborhood near Coors Field.
