THIS FALL OKTOBERFEST AT MOREY’S PIERS IS NOW FOUR WEEKENDS
The Wildwoods, NJ – August 26, 2019 – This fall Morey’s Piers, celebrating 50 years on the piers of the Wildwoods, NJ, expands their annual Oktoberfest to four consecutive weekends of German-themed revelry, live entertainment, a kids “Rootbier Garten” activity area and more.
On Friday, September 20 at 5:45pm the festivities kick-off with a ceremonial keg tapping of Warsteiner beer and the Morey family clad in lederhosen. Special guest Helmut Fricker, a German yodeler and alphorn player, will also perform bringing his authentic flare to the opening weekend.
A full line-up of bands will rock the Coca-Cola branded stage at Mariner’s Pier near the Giant Wheel during the Oktoberfest weekends. Musical performances are scheduled for Fridays from 6:30pm-10:30pm; Saturdays from 1:00pm-5:00pm, then again from 6:30pm-10:30pm; and Sundays from 1:00pm-4:00pm.
Wilhelm’s Bier Garten, the home of Oktoberfest, serves ice-cold German draft beer along with local and domestic imports and wine. Visitors can feast on German fare aplenty including fried pierogies, large Bavarian pretzels, wings tossed with German beer sauce, cheddar bratwurst and bacon knockwurst on a pretzel roll. New menu items this year include buffalo dip and a Beyond Meat bratwurst sandwich.
Jumbo’s Grub & Pub will offer a festive selection of Bavarian pretzels, bratwurst, German potato salad, schnitzel, spatzle, and more. Thirsty guests can sip on a wide selection of beers on tap and tasting flights at the outdoor “biergarten” located behind Jumbo’s.
To satisfy a sweet tooth, stands on Mariner’s Pier will have Oktoberfest favorites including candied and caramel apples, apple fritters, and fall funnel cake flavors: pumpkin and cinnamon glazed.
