•Was
this
the
visitor
type
split
you
expected?
Yes.
•Why
or
why
not?
Please
explain.
The
variety
of
destination
vs.
locals
is
looking
great.
We
anticipate
that
Lionshead Oktoberfest
is
predominantly
destination
with
fewer
locals
than
Vail
Village
and
are
glad
to
see
the
overnight
visitor
climbing.
•What
steps
would
you
take
to
optimize
visitor
mix?
Continue
efforts
to
inform/collaborate
with
area
lodging
community
with
information
and
continue
to
grow
social
channels.
Considering
targeted
social
messages
to
focus
on
lodging
deals.

•High

•Exceeded
expectations
in
these
ways:
•Estimated
attendance/visitors
in
Vail
during
the
weekends
of
Vail
Oktoberfest
was
of
the
biggest
yet
with
beautiful
weather
each
day.
•Bavarian
food,
entertainment,
additional
seating
and
overall
entertainment
was
very
well
received.
•Festive
and
well
mannered
audience.
•Guests
once
again
had
the
opportunity
to
purchase
tokens
with
credit
cards
this
year.
•The
extended
seating
was
highly
appreciated
by
area
retailers
in
Lionshead and
Vail
Village.
Event Strengths & Weaknesses
12Town

Vail

CSE
|
11/2/16
•Exceeded
expectations
in
these
ways:
•Highline
continues
to
look
for
ways
execute
with
a
very
clean
venue,
meeting
an
authentic
look
and
high
quality
production
standards
including
tents
supplied
by
Highline,
pageantry
as
well
as
branding
that
complemented
the
venue
from
Hacker-‐Pschorr.
•Partnerships
were
eliminated
that
conflicted
with
area
retailers
and
a
new
culinary
brand
joined
us
which
added
a
high
quality,
relevant
guests
experience.
•Each
vendor
was
supplied
with
a
blue
or
white
tent
(and
blue
table
cloth)
to
create
consistency
and
a
sharp
look
and
feel
throughout
the
venue.
•Restaurants
use
inform
signage
to
further
maintain
a
clean
venue.
•Additional
seating
was
introduced
this
year
which
was
a
huge
hit
for
retailers
Event Strengths & Weaknesses
13Town

•Measures
that
could
be
taken
for
event
improvement:
•Highline
increased
the
guest
seating
with
an
increased
footprint
and
piped
in
music
to
seating
areas
in
the
outer
portions
of
the
venue.
We’d
love
to
bring
additional
activation
to
these
areas
to
continue
the
theme
and
activity
throughout
the
entire
venue.
•With
the
strong
response
from
retailers
to
the
extended
seating
areas,
it
would
be
great
to
see
the
retailers
play
a
part
in
the
event
and/or
promote
Oktoberfest
discounts.
We’d
be
happy
to
help
advertise/partner
with
them.
•Continue
to
pay
close
attention
to
how
the
garbage
and
recycling
is
handled.
•Aim
to
include
partners
that
are
relevant
to
Vail
in
Autumn
without
competing
with
retailers.

•For
repeat
event,
comparison
to
past
years:
•The
aesthetics
of
the
venues
maintained
an
authentic,
clean
look
and
feel,
further
this
year
including
the
following:
•Highline
supplied
vendors
with
a
blue
or
white
tent,
table
to
ground
length
tablecloths
for
the
third
year.
•Further
sought
out
vendors
to
increase
Bavarian
options
but
missed
the
participation
of
a
few
key
lodging
restaurants.
•Provided
menu
signage
and
valence
signage
for
all
restaurants.
•The
additional
seating
was
extremely
comfortable
for
guests
and
brought
guests
closer
to
a
variety
of
retailers
which
was
a
primary
goal.

Weekend 1 Highlights
11/1/16
The Friday celebration began at noon again this year after a positive response to the early kickoff in
2015, and continued into the night with authentic polka music, the opening ceremonies and the first official
Stein Lift of Vail Oktoberfest for 2016.
Additional entertainment was the Official Hacker-Pschorr drinking of the Das Boot ceremony highlighting
the history of Oktoberfest and that the name Hacker-Pschorr stands for a Munich brew tradition crafted
over centuries, and acclaimed far beyond the borders of Bavaria throughout the entire world. The
announcer was able to also use this time to mention that Hacker-Pschorr has been doing business in a
sustainable manner combined with courage and innovation, that is “the heaven of the Bavarians,” a
Hacker-Pschorr tradition since 1417.
The weekend continued with perfect fall weather, Bavarian dancers, oom-pah music, Primal J and the
Neaderthals taking the stage on Saturday night and Sunday night’s entertainment by Neue Polka.

Additional Event Elements
Adult Keg Bowling Contest:
Up to fifteen contestants each Saturday and Sunday of Oktoberfest were given the chance to
hurl a keg shell on wheels down the lane at a pyramid of keg shells with the intention of
bringing down the pile. It’s not as easy at it sounds. The champion of the day was awarded
with a great package from Hacker-Pschorr including a Hacker-Pschorr 1L branded stein, $40
in Oktoberfest tokens and a Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest themed shirt and a Hacker-Pschorr
Bavarian hat. All contestants received a complimentary beer from Hacker-Pschorr.

Klement’s Bratwurst Eating Contest
The strong-willed and the strong-stomached battled it out to see who could down the most
brats in two minutes. The competitor who wolfed down the most brats in the allotted time
won a keg-a-que from Klement’s Sausage Company as well as a Vail Oktoberfest stein with
$40 in Oktoberfest tokens. The contest took place on Saturday and Sunday of both
weekends. The Hacker-Pschorr stage wing banners continue to go along way with all
contests being located at the stage. The typical winner ate 5-6 brats in two minutes!

Bavarian Costume Contest
The Bavarian Costume Contest had plenty of participants eager to hear the crowd
applause.
Guests who showed up for the day in full Bavarian flare or in another Oktoberfest related
costume were invited to participate in the Oktoberfest Costume Contests on Saturday and
Sunday. All ages were welcome. The winner was determined by crowd response. We
continue to see more Bavarian flare each year and the Hacker-Pschorr lederhosen shirts
certainly add to the festive atmosphere.

Vail Vitality Center Stein Lifting Competition
The Stein Lift Contests opened and closed the event each weekend. This crowd-favorite
tested the arm strength and stamina of even the fiercest competitors. Competitors held a
FULL 1L beer stein out from their body at shoulder level. The last person standing with
arm outstretched took home the Oktoberfest prize package which included Hacker-
Pschorr branded 1L beer stein, tokens from Vail Oktoberfest and (2) day passes to Vail
Vitality Center in Vail Village. One of this year’s winners, a 77 year-old man, broke
younger competitors records, lasting 5 minutes! Participants in the Stein Lift Contest had
to be at least 21 years of age and there were both male and female categories. This contest
continues to be of the crowd favorites!
