🍺🎺 MEET THE BANDS! 🥨🎶
Oktoberfest at Loveland Aleworks is bringing the oompah, polka, and party all day long! Prost to this year’s lineup:
🪗 12–2 PM | Polka Folka
Denver’s Polka Folka mixes traditional European polkas and waltzes with pop songs, regional Mexican and U.S. polka styles—and a whole lot of energy. These guys know how to turn a biergarten into a party.
🎷 2–5 PM | Shmenge’s Revenge
This Colorado saxophone quintet trades concert hall vibes for full-blown Oktoberfest mode, transforming into a lively polka and oompah band complete with traditional tunes, plenty of laughs, and a nod to SCTV’s legendary Shmenge Brothers.
🍻 5–7 PM | Denver’s Thirsty 5
Two clarinets. Trumpet. Trombone. Tuba. Maximum oompah. Denver’s Thirsty 5 closes out the day with traditional German polkas, waltzes, marches, and all the biergarten energy we can handle.
