Chandler's Rocktoberfest runs Friday through Sunday, Oct. 2 to 4, at SanTan Gardens, the event's new Uptown Chandler location. Visit Chandler bills it as three days of craft beer and live music with the competitions doing the heavy lifting: a stein-holding contest, a wiener toss, a brat-eating competition, cornhole, beer pong and wiener dog races. It is the first of a busy Chandler fall that also includes the AZ48 half marathon on Oct. 25.
