DENVER (KDVR) — Most of this weekend’s events gear up towards the end of the weekend on Sunday.

Even with the first of October happening this Sunday, the 80-degree weather is here to stay in the Denver weekend forecast. Fall-like temperatures will move in at night with temperatures in the 50s to 60s.

Here are a few ideas to kick off October the right way.

All weekend

• Ink and Drink (Sept. 26-30)
• The Lumberjack Festival (Sept. 30-Oct. 1)
  Two teams of professional lumberjackers will compete in 11 different events including axe throwing and water challenges. You’ll be able to participate in cross-cut sawing and logrolling.
• Oktoberfest: 2nd weekend (Sept. 29-Oct. 1)
  Drink some beer, enjoy it with a pretzel and make sure you grab a stein. While you’re there, see how long you can hold two full steins, there’s a contest for it.
• Big Gigantic (Sept. 29-30)
• Elk Fest (Sept. 30-Oct. 1)
  Elk mating season is underway, and there’s no better way to celebrate the start of fall and one of Colorado’s native animals than with a festival dedicated to elk. The fest includes live music, food trucks, bugling contests and much more.
