Biztoberfest

Update:

We at the Eagle Chamber are pleased to express our appreciation to the community for coming together to celebrate local businesses at Biztoberfest!

Fun, creative booth experiences were met with keen business owners offering stellar products and services with lots of giveaways! Song and dance of traditional bavarian spirit led by local legend Helmut Fricker & the Alpine Echoes gave rise to smiling faces and good will. Hearty music, yodeling, stein-holding, Biztoberfest beer, yummy bites and more lifted us into the bright and lively evening. 

Presented by Martin Insurance Group and Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle Chamber's very first Biztoberfest was a special success and the perfect beginning of an annual Eagle tradition! Stick with us and let's plan on doing it again the Thursday after Labor Day in 2024!

WHAT IS BIZTOBERFEST?
A Business Exposition and Job Fair amidst an Oktoberfest Festival
 
Presented by Martin Insurance Group and Eagle County Regional Airport, Biztoberfest is a Business Exposé and Job Fair surrounded by an Oktoberfest festival! Being held this year at Brush Creek Pavilion in Eagle, the public can come and engage in a sampling of the Local Business Community. Exhibitors and guests can learn more about the products and services of more than 30 businesses who serve us in our own backyards. There will be dozens of creative booth experiences with Fun Activities, Games, Prizes and Raffle drawings. In addition to the multitude of Giveaways at Exhibitor booths, every attendee can enter into the Biztoberfest Passport Raffle drawing for a chance to win 2 Grand Prizes that will be given away at the end of the evening!
 
Eagle Chamber's Business Expo Committee is driven to draw in the Public at-Large to create an opportunity for as much exposure as possible for Eagle Chamber Members and other local businesses. These businesses are the economic engine of our communities and they've faced great economic challenges over the past few years. Our goal is to lift the businesses of Eagle and the surrounding communities and boost their exposure.
 
We thank Biztoberfest Committee Member Josie Haxton, who came up with the idea to create this family fun event surrounding the Exposé to draw in more members of the public. Not only will this provide exposure for the businesses, but it is an enjoyable event for the community to come together with.
 
WHAT SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED?
