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.

Oktoberfest will be held from 10am to 2pm at Earl E. Owens Park in Monroe Township. Monroe is home to BestRentNJ.com rental apartments at Village at Stratford 55+.
