THE WILDWOODS, N.J. — This fall, Oktoberfest returns to Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, NJ. Guests can enjoy four consecutive weekends of German-themed revelry, live entertainment, kid’s “Rootbier Garten” activity area, and more.

On Friday, September 16 at 5:30 pm, the festivities kick-off with a ceremonial keg tapping of HaufBrau Original beer and the Morey family clad in lederhosen on the Coca-Cola stage at Mariner’s Pier near the Giant Wheel. 

A full line-up of bands will also rock the Coca-Cola stage during the Oktoberfest weekends. Musical performances are scheduled for Fridays from 6:30pm-10:30pm; Saturdays from 1:00pm-5:00pm, then again from 6:30pm-10:30pm; and Sundays from 12:30pm-4:30pm.  

Wilhelm’s Bier Garten, the home of Oktoberfest, serves ice-cold German draft beer along with local and domestic imports and wine. In addition, visitors can feast on German fare aplenty, including giant Bavarian pretzels, roasted chicken, bratwurst, knockwurst on a pretzel roll, and more.  

Jumbo’s Grub & Pub will offer a festive selection of Bavarian pretzels, bratwurst, German potato salad, schnitzel, and more. In addition, thirsty guests can sip on a wide selection of beers on tap and seasonal cocktails. To satisfy a sweet tooth, stands on Mariner’s Pier will have Oktoberfest favorites, including candied and caramel apples and pumpkin funnel cake.

A kid’s zone with a “Rootbier Garten” will be set up near the Wave Swinger, and kids can enjoy a variety of activities, including a pumpkin decorating station.
