We are very excited to announce our partnership with Museums of Western Colorado Oktoberfest to bring Steinholding to Colorado's Western Slope! And we're going big with a Steinholding tournament series that spans the state and culminates with the State Championship Finals on October 11th, 2025 (at 1:00pm) during MOWC Oktoberfest in Grand Junction, CO! The beer will be flowing, and the winner of the men's and women's competition finals will be crowned the State Steinholding Champions and will be invited to represent Colorado and attend the 2025 USSA National Steinholding Championship! This year's State Champions will ALSO receive prizes from our partners at BavariaTrachten.com where you can use the discount code STEINHOLDING to get 10% off any purchase of lederhosen, dirndls, and other great festival apparel all season long!
There are a limited number of spots available for the finals and you'll need to compete at one of our Qualifying Venue partner locations (listed below) to qualify for the finals and get your shot at the big prizes.
Great question! We're partnering with breweries, bars, and festivals across Colorado who will host preliminary qualifying rounds at their location. The winner of their men's competition and women's competition will be invited to represent each of these venues at the State Championship Finals. The different venues are listed below along with the dates and times for each competition. If your favorite CO venue isn't hosting a competition, tell them to get registered so you can join the fun!
U.S. Steinholding Association Official Steinholding Rules will be used. There will be a team of official USSA-trained judges at the finals, so study up on the rules and spend some time training to make sure your form is clean, or you won't last long in the Championship Round!
Check out the initial competition map and venue list below. Don't see your favorite venue listed? Reach out to them and tell them that you DEMAND STEINHOLDING and they need to sign up! We'll be announcing more locations throughout the summer and fall so check back and follow us on FB and IG for updates. Remember- these venues will have limited spaces available for their qualifying rounds, so show up early and register in advance with the venue if you can!
