Oktoberfest at Pier 15.

Worth it, says Antonina. Lederhosen-clad staff with frothy beer steins and oversized pretzels make it easy to forget you’re overlooking the East River and not the Isar in Munich.

Can’t make it to Oktoberfest in Germany? Fret not, because you can experience a taste of the beloved Bavarian tradition at Pier 15 in New York City.

Lederhosen-clad staff with frothy beer steins and oversized pretzels make it easy to forget you’re overlooking the East River and not the Isar in Munich. Not drinking? No problem. The family-friendly celebration is open to all ages and there are plenty of non-alcoholic options on offer.

Good to knowOktoberfest is one of the best free fall events in New York City so advanced registration is encouraged.
