First the Good:…read more souvenir pint glass, great choice of beer, great food choices, plenty of seating, there is not a more beautiful place in Tahoe for Oktoberfest! The Bad: $10 pretzels are cold and stale and no beer cheese to dip, beer refill lines way to long, bands were not good, no fun music and they take long breaks between. Also not one Chicken Dance?? Really?? No pumpkin patch for kids. Overall this has the makings to be a great Oktoberfest, next year we will make the drive to Camp Richardson's Oktoberfest, always good time there.

Probably tip: the bathroom line gets long for both lads & lasses at intermission. Walk back on path a bit for many available bathrooms. All actors were top notch with a side of humor. Singers were wonderful. Saw production of Twelth Night, August 2025. Kudos to all the wonderful volunteers.

Thought it be a distraction but actually for me it enhanced the experience. The seats we had were in the front row which come with food and drink service right at your seat. We had a great waitress Ashley who was super attentive. When she took our order her order pad never sent our orders and a few others back to the kitchen. It took a little long to get our stuff but Ashley was super apologetic and kept us informed. Food was better than expected and the Moscow mule I ordered was not watered down. Overall a must do in Tahoe. Such a great venue in such a beautiful setting.

I really love the new location at Idlewild park! There were many Vendors, Food and Drink Choices. One of my favorites is Mr Margarita. I love to mix the two choices together $9. I was starved and I had a $5 hot dog that hit the spot. Then my husband tried a hand dipped foot long corn dog which I had a bite of and it was tasty. What's not to love at the festival, I think any choice is a win! The musical was good, I found it interesting you can now purchase VIP tables each day. What a nice added touch to the event. There are many add ons you can purchase as well. Something for everyone, craft beer tasting, rafting, golf, rock climbing or just sit back and listen to the entertainment while taking in the beauty of your surroundings. If you haven't gone to the festival I definitely suggested going, you can take blankets, low back chairs, but no pets or outside food or drink. General admission is a weekend pass only $15 no exceptions.

It is sponsored by the TMCC Alumni association with the proceeds going to support first generation TMCC students. This was a really nice event and really kept to the theme of local arts and crafts. There are booths with jewelry, pottery, hand crafted glassware, photography, visual arts, health and beauty items as well as wine snobs paraphernalia. There was live music which adds to the festival atmosphere. The items for sale were of nice quality and really ranged in price. I think it would be a great place to buy unique items that are not available at every other street fair around. Not a tie-die t-shirt or funky sunglasses to be found here. This is really a nice quality Arts and Crafts event.

When I first showed up I was quite surprise to see that it looked very similar to the Rib Cookoff, a yearly event that I go to every year! Lots of the streets closed off from traffic for foot walk, with several stands of shops, food, drinks and more! A live band performance, and people everywhere! I got food from one of the stands, Meatballs and Polenta. I got meatballs and garlic bread. The meatballs were really good but the garlic bread got very hard by the time I started to eat it. Pretty fun. Fun little event for sure! Definitely go check it out if you enjoy Italian food whenever you're in the area!

We went another time to eat when the food vendors were less busy. The artichoke/italian sausage was amazing. The mushroom ravioli was tasty, we found some pastries with cinnamon and sugar but I can't remember what they were called. There was a wine walk (we didn't partake in) but there were lots of wines to taste. Thanks to the Eldorado for this 12th straight year that I have attended.

This was our first time attending Freeze Your Pints Off and it was an absolute blast…read more Located at the City Plaza in Downtown Reno, various tents from local only breweries were set up along with a few local food trucks. The weather started off a bit gloomy as a few water drops drizzled from the cloudy, overcast sky. But later on in the day the sun showed its face and warmed up the whole plaza. Something to note; Aside from the VIP and general admission tickets, what I thought was great to have was Designated Driver Tickets. DD Tickets were only $15, which included a meal ticket from any food truck and unlimited non alcoholic beverages. At the same time, this is an event supporting local breweries, but I still thought this was neat option to have. From what I can remember, the breweries that participated in this event were The Brewer's Cabinet, Great Basin Brewing Co., IMBIB, Pigeon Head, 10 Torr, Lead Dog Brewing, and Alibi. I know there were a few more, but I can't seem to remember them all. As for food, there were about three to four food trucks parked around the event. Some highlights were Still Rollin's Double Loaded Mac, which was macaroni and cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, bacon, green onion and ranch in an egg roll topped with Ranch, more bacon, and even more parmesan! Then there was NomniVore's Korean BBQ Pulled Pork, which was more of a southern style BBQ, with pear and ginger kimchi. Service as well as the people attending the event were friendly and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was also a DJ who had a collection of records and provided lively music throughout the event. I personally love to support local, and Freeze Your Pints Off was an event catered to only local businesses here in Reno. And sure, the weather was a bit dreary, but the skies eventually cleared up. Besides, with refreshing beers, delicious food, and entertaining music, what's not to love? Freeze Your Pints Off 2019 was a fun filled event and one that I will sure to be attending in the future!
