Oktoberfest

Our neighbors in the Smelter City are gearing up for another Oktoberfest celebration and it's coming your way on Saturday, October 7. Discover Anaconda along with the folks from the Copper Village Museum and Arts Center have joined forces to put on what is going to be a fantastic celebration of food, music and, of course, beer.

No arm twisting was necessary to maintain attendance at this year's Oktoberfest in Anaconda. In fact, that has never been the case for the Copper Village Museum and Art Center's staple event over the years. A crowd of over 200 people was willingly front and center at last Saturday's festivity. As a witness to the event and from the pictures illustrated in this article, it's evident there was no shortage of fun for Oktoberfest enthusiasts. Under the direction of Shannon Warner of the Copper Village Museum and Art Center, Teah Fuller of Discover Anaconda, and many hard-working staff members and volunteers, Anaconda's Oktoberfest offered something for everyone!
