BRECKENRIDGE — “Locals should leave work early on Friday,” advised Sandy Metzger, event director of Breckenridge’s 18th annual Oktoberfest, which starts a day early this year for the first time.
Though Oktoberfest usually kicks off Friday night with the Paulaner Brewmaster’s Dinner, this year’s festival begins Friday afternoon, replete with brews, music and yes, chicken and hat dances.
The street party starts at 2 p.m. Friday. Patrons who purchase steins in advance and pick them up today can earn two free beers for their efforts. Then, after folks have had a chance to put a few away, the dancing games get started at 4:30 p.m. in Blue River Plaza.
