Mountain Creek Resort will hold its 38th annual “Oktoberfest” on the weekend of September 17th and 18th, from noon to 7 p.m. The event’s $20 per person ticket includes live music, entertainment and activities suitable for children and adults.
Some of the more adult-themed activities include lawn games such as glass and barrel holding contests, lumberjack contest, hay bale toss, ladies’ relays and “sumo wrestling.” Children can enjoy petting zoos, bounce houses and face painting. The price of admission also gives guests free rides in the sky on the Mountain Creek lift or unlimited rides on the Mountain Coaster.
Oktoberfest wouldn’t be complete without authentic German cuisine, plus more than 10 varieties of German and domestic beers, cider, seltzer and canned cocktails. Wine will be available in the wine and liquor tent in the Biergarten. A selection of festival food is available for purchase at the German Pretzel Station, Dessert Station, Corn and Pickle Station and the Main Food Tent, which serves traditional German dishes such as Schweinshaxe, sandwiches of sliced ​​sauerbraten, grilled bratwurst and potato pancakes. Classic items like hamburgers and cheeseburgers, jumbo hot dogs, grilled chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches and fries will also be available for purchase.
“We are thrilled to announce the return of the 38th annual Oktoberfest celebration to Mountain Creek,” said Hugh Reynolds, Director of Marketing for SNOW Partners. “We look forward to offering this fun and festive Oktoberfest celebration during a great time of year to visit North Jersey. We are excited to announce enhancements to our food and beverage selection as well as additions to our entertainment. We are confident that our 38th celebration will be the best yet.”
