Oktoberfest, held each Columbus Day weekend in Red River, is one of the most popular events of the year due to the fall foliage, microbrewed beer, and festive German atmosphere. Red River hosts over fifteen special events annually, like a motorcycle rally in May, a classic car show and a wine festival in June, a chili cook-off and green chile state championship in August, an arts and crafts fair in September, and a Mardi Gras celebration in February.
