 18th Annual Schweitzer Fall Fest
Two Days of Live Music and the Regions Finest Microbrews 

Sandpoint, ID- Schweitzer Mountain Resort’s 18th annual Fall Fest, on September 4th and 5th will feature mugs filled with a superb selection of the region’s best microbrews as free live music billows through the mountain village. Scenic chairlift rides will be extended from 11:00am-6:00pm which allows for sipping on fine wine while awing over the panoramic view of Lake Pend Oreille. An unlimited chairlift Day Pass will be available for the price of a single ticket. 

Saturday, September 4th, from 1:00pm-6:00pm, music by Eclectic Approach and The Staxx Brothers will get people up out of their seats and rockin’ to the energetic beat. The Albeni Falls Pipes and Drums, Finn Riggins and Larry and His Flask will play on Sunday, September 5th, from 11:45am-6:00pm. Be forewarned ­ bounding feet and swinging hips are common symptoms of listening to tremendous live music. 

Dave Kulis, Marketing Director at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, said “Fall Fest is a popular way for friends and family to get together over Labor Day Weekend. It’s really become a tradition for many in the region. We are looking forward to a great selection of musical talent this year along with soda mixology and do it yourself crafts available for the kids.” Over 20 microbrews from the Northwest will be featured along with wine and soda mixology.
