The official Oktoberfest is in Munich but if you can’t hop on a plane to Germany this fall, NYC’s Oktoberfest is the next best thing. New Yorkers always know how to throw a party and this event is no exception. It’s a celebration of old-world charm and traditions against the backdrop of this beautiful city. Get dressed up in authentic German lederhosen, snack on a delicious giant pretzel, clink your beer-filled steins, and prepare for some fun and games over the weeks that span Oktoberfest. This festival highlights and embraces camaraderie amongst friends and it’s an atmosphere you won’t want to miss out on. Mark your calendars for this annual NYC event that brings a lively spirit and joyous experience to all that attend!
