Mirroring the Bavarian look of a German town, the Alpine Village of Helen is celebrating its European roots this month with nightly Oktoberfest activities. Beer, brats, bands and Lederhosen can be spotted around town during the day, but events get into gear at night at the Helen Festhalle. Oktoberfest activities happen from 6-10:30 p.m. from Monday through Thursday, 6 p.m. to midnight Fridays, 1 p.m. to midnight Saturday and 1-7 p.m. Sundays at 1074 Edelweiss Strasse.
