Beer and Mopars; you combine those two together and you have an event a Mopar group from Kansas likes to call the “Okt’Mopar’Fest”. This event starts on October 11th, 2017 in Hays, Kansas and runs straight through to October 14th, 2017 in Garnett, Kansas. The KS Mopar Cruise group contacted us here at Mopar Connection and asked if we could spread the word on their fantastic event. Of course, we were glad to.

The event consists of two and a half days of driving your Mopar through some of Kansas’ beautiful country scenery while touring various micro-breweries and other interesting destinations along the way before eventually ending up at the Lake Garnet Grand Prix that takes place on October 14th and 15th. The two day Grand Prix event features a car show and autocross among the event list. For more information, check out their Facebook page for the event which features a full tentative trip itinerary!
