Why is it one of the top Oktoberfest events in Fort Collins?

What is the Fort Collins Oktoberfest Bar Crawl?
Fort Collins is a genuine brewing town, which makes an Oktoberfest crawl here more than a theme. One ticket covers participating bars, a digital 3D map, drink specials, live DJs, and after-party access.
When does the Fort Collins crawl run?
Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Late September is a good window along the front range, warm in the afternoon and cool enough after dark to enjoy the walking.
Where does the Fort Collins route run?
Old Town Square and the College Avenue blocks around it hold the bar density, all within a short walk. Your confirmed check-in venue and participating lineup come with your ticket confirmation.
Is Old Town walkable?
Very. Old Town Square and the streets feeding it keep everything within a short walk, and the whole area is built for exactly this kind of evening. No rides needed between stops.
Should I check the CSU schedule?
Worth doing. A Rams home game at Canvas Stadium brings a large crowd into Old Town before and after, which changes how long you spend at each door.
Does the altitude matter in Fort Collins?
Some. At around 5,000 feet drinks land harder than at sea level, though less severely than in the mountain towns. Keep water going if you have flown in recently.
What is a Fort Collins evening like in September?
The drop after sunset is sharp, often from a warm afternoon into the 40s and 50s. All the stops are indoors, so bring a layer you can shed rather than dressing for the daytime high.
Is the Fort Collins crawl 21 and over?
Yes, 21 and over. Old Town door staff check a valid government-issued photo ID at every venue, separately from your wristband, and the student population means they do it carefully.
