We have something for everyone at the Four Peaks Oktoberfest! Many fan favorites are returning this year

Stein Holding Competition

Come to the 8th Street Pub to prove your mettle and earn a chance to go for the grand prize during the Four Peaks Oktoberfest!

Welcome to the 2026 Four Peaks Brewing Stein Holding Competition, held at our 8th Street Pub! You’ll go head-to-head with other competitors in a qualifying round to earn a chance to compete at the upcoming Four Peaks Oktoberfest for the grand prize of a $500 gift card.

This qualifying round will take place on September 17th at our 8th Street Pub. If you can’t make it, we’ll also be hosting qualifying events at bars and restaurants across the state. Anyone over 21 is welcome to attend and compete.

Your $8 entry fee includes a commemorative stein filled with beer. 8th Street entrants will be divided into men’s and women’s categories and limited to 15 competitors per round. Please note that your ticket guarantees entry, not a heat assignment, which are done on a first-come, first-served basis.

The winner from each round moves on to the final event on October 11th at Four Peaks Oktoberfest at Tempe Town Lake.

Dachshund Races

The wiener dog races at The Four Peaks Oktoberfest are a fan favorite tradition! For 2026 we have created a new category so more dogs can get in on the fun.

The “Low Center of Gravity” race category is for non-weiner dogs measuring 12″ or shorter from the shoulder that love to race!

On Saturday and Sunday, come watch these furry fun balls run their hearts out! Cheer on your favorites and celebrate Oktoberfest in proper fashion! It is the perfect combination of funny and exciting! Did we mention there will be a Bone Bar?! See you there!
