Sugar Mountain, North Carolina – Grab your beer stein, put on your lederhosen and head to Sugar Mountain Resort for the 20th annual Oktoberfest celebration Saturday & Sunday, October 9 & 10, 2010. Take in the beautiful fall foliage; cool, comfortable mountain temperatures, and a weekend full of activities from 10 am until 5 pm each day. Be sure to bring the kids because the event is for the whole family. Admission and parking are FREE. Rain or shine the festival will go on!
An array of artisans and craftspeople open their stands at 10:00am each day. A sampling of this year's country craft fair vendors include: pottery, folk art in glass & wood, books by local and regional authors, stained glass sun-catchers, handmade wooden cutting boards, quilted items, handmade children's toys, handmade furniture, dolls, ceramics, handmade bath & body products, jewelry, home-made baked goods, jams & jellies, bird feeders, pet clothing, and much more.

Enjoy a panoramic view of the North Carolina High Country, Southern Virginia and Eastern Tennessee's beautiful fall foliage from the mile and a half long scenic chairlift ride to Sugar's 5,300 ft peak. Everyone, even mountain bikers are welcome to ride the lift.
The children's activity center, located in the Ski School Play Yard will keep your youngins entertained each day from noon until 4:00pm. The children's activity center includes bounce and play stations, hay rides, and a chance to meet Sugar Bear and Sweetie Bear. Cotton candy, popcorn, candy apples, homemade cookies and drinks are also available in the children's activity center. All ages are welcome to participate.
Shop for the upcoming fall and winter seasons at Sugar Mountain Resort's Sport Shop located on the first level of the main lodge building. The Ski Shop will offer 50% off all 2010 and older winter apparel and footwear ONLY during the two-day Oktoberfest from 10 am until 5 pm. All accessories including, but not limited to goggles, gloves, hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts and all other souvenir items will be excluded from the 50% sale. New 2011 winter merchandise will also be available at regular retail. Commemorative Oktoberfest as well as Sugar Mountain Resort 40th Anniversary t-shirts and souvenir items can also be bought in the sports shop or under the tent on the main celebration deck.
An Oktoberfest isn't complete without the sounds of an Oom Pah Band. From noon until 4:00 pm both Saturday & Sunday the 15 piece Harbour Towne Fest Band guarantees to bring the sounds, dances and enthusiasm of Bavaria to Sugar Mountain.
Bavarian cuisine, including Bratwurst, Knackwurst, Sauerkraut and pretzels will be available starting at 11:00am both Saturday & Sunday. To help wash it down an ample supply of Spaten beer will generously flow each day until 5:00 pm. Spaten Oktoberfest beer, created in 1872, is the world's first Oktoberfest beer, brewed for the greatest folk festival in the world, the Oktoberfest! If Bavarian cuisine isn't your preference; hot dogs, hamburgers, soda, cotton candy, kettle corn, funnel cakes, candy apples, and other festive foods will be on hand.
If you're planning to spend the weekend take advantage of 25% discounts for on-mountain lodging. Lodging details and contact information can be found at www.skisugar.com/oktoberfest.
