It's Oktoberfest in New Jersey!

Oktoberfest arrives here in New Jersey with a bevy of Bavarian festivals and celebrations in true Oktoberfest tradition. There are many events and I thought I’d list them all that were presented.

Oktoberfest is a celebration, it’s a great way to gather with friends and family and enjoy the feel-good atmosphere of these Jersey celebrations.

The original Oktoberfest was held in celebration of the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria to Princess Therese in 1810. The German celebration is held in Munich, Germany and is attended by an average of over 6 million participants and 487 beer breweries are there to quench their thirst. The celebration in Munich also experienced a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic, but it’s back and travel experts predict this year’s Munich Oktoberfest will reach pre-pandemic attendance numbers.

So strap on those lederhosen polish your steins, and get ready to tap the beer, it’s Oktoberfest in New Jersey and we enjoy every minute of it.

Here in New Jersey more Oktoberfest are popping up and are available for fun and frivolity up and down the state. Here is a great list of all the Oktoberfest events according to newjersey-leisure-guide.com big thanks to them for such a complete list.
