Oktoberfest

Nampa's Oktoberfest is a one-evening, ticketed event at the city-owned Nampa Civic Center, presented by the Idaho Veteran's Chamber of Commerce. The bill mixes live music and radio personalities with German food and beer from local brewers, plus a brat eating contest, a stein holding competition and a cornhole tournament. Organizers pitch it as an event for the whole family, and a downtown beer passport from participating bars earns a discount on entry.
