Your options include:
Oktoberfest at Ski Valley – Located near the tippy top of Mt. Lemmon, Oktoberfest at Ski Valley has been a tradition for beer-drinking, brat-eating, oom-pah-pah enjoying Tucsonans for nearly five decades. Festivities take places each Saturday and Sunday, starting Sept. 12 through Oct. 13 at Ski Valley, 10300 E. Ski Run Road. Admission is free, but parking will set you back $5. Call 1-520-576-1321 for more info.
The Buffet turns 90 – Raise a glass this weekend to The Buffet as the dive bar, a rite of passage for many UA students, celebrates 90 years this Saturday, Sept. 21. The bar will have drink specials, giveaways, raffles and live music.
Need more of a reason? A portion of the proceeds will go to United Way of Tucson’s Community Impact Fund. The party runs from noon til 5 p.m. The Buffet is at 538 E. Ninth St.
