Get ready for some community cheer! On Sunday, October 16th, Monroe Township will celebrate its 18th annual Oktoberfest. Filled with inflatable games and rides, arts and crafts, a petting zoo, face painting, food, a DJ and more, this township festival is a great way to enjoy the lovely fall weather amongst neighbors and friends.
Monroe’s Oktoberfest is based on a two hundred-year old Bavarian tradition with agricultural roots. Over the years, the Munich Oktoberfest has become a more modern festival–gone are the horse races of bygone days. And as the Monroe tradition is significantly younger than its German counterpart, it’s geared to a younger crowd as well: here in Middlesex County, Oktoberfest is all about family fun. So bring out the whole family and visit Monroe’s Oktoberfest this year–whether you’re looking for a slice of tradition or just want to celebrate your community, this festival is sure to deliver.
