  • Parker Mountain Trails – Providing a network of professionally maintained, multi-use trails for residents and visitors to enjoy the great outdoors.
  • Adaptive Sports Partners – Empowering individuals with disabilities through sport, recreation, and adventure.
  • The Littleton Food Pantry – Offering essential food, hygiene products, and household items to families in need.
  • The Loading Dock – A nonprofit creative space fostering connection through art in Littleton.
  • Catamount Arts – Inspiring community engagement through the arts, including staging concerts and supporting creative economies.

This year’s Oktoberfest will feature two sessions to accommodate attendees—Session 1 from 11 AM to 3 PM and Session 2 from 4 PM to 8 PM. Both sessions will offer the same lively atmosphere, with 44 breweries from around the world pouring unlimited short samples of their finest brews.
