The event will feature a Dogfish Head limited-release, special-edition Oktoberfest beer, as well as a signature cocktail and local wine from Nassau Valley Vineyards. Non-alcoholic beverages, commemorative steins, and long-sleeved T-shirts will also be available for purchase.

The Happy Wanderers will provide music and the Bairisch und Steierisch Bavarian and Austrian Dancers will be providing entertainment and instruction on German cultural dancing. The wearing of Dirndls and Lederhosen is encouraged.

Entrance tickets are $25 for attendees age 16 and over. Children 15 and under are free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. Food and beverages are purchased separately at the event.
