57th Gaylord Alpenfest

From delicious food and outstanding entertainment to a popular 60+ artist craft show and numerous events including a parade, kid’s games and contests,  and carnival rides for all ages, this Alpine-inspired celebration honors the city’s heritage and partnership with sister city, Pontresina, Switzerland.

The summer tradition, now in its 57th year, features an impressive lineup of free outdoor concerts each night on the main stage. ( Free With Your 2021 Alpenfest Pin)
