River Horse Oktoberfest 2024

Our Annual River Horse and DuClaw Oktoberfest returns!

Saturday, September 21st from 6PM - 10PM

We've been hosting the ultimate Oktoberfest celebration for 10 plus years and you're telling me you haven't been?!

Out of the Woods, our Oktoberfest Harvest Lager returns, as well as our classic River Horse Fall Favorite Hipp-O-Lantern Pumpkin Ale!

This year will also feature a live band performing your favorite tunes to dance and sing along to starting at 6:30PM!

COSTUMES AND TRADITIONAL GERMAN ATTIRE ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!

ALL COMPEITION WINNERS WILL TAKE HOME A PRIZE!

BRAT - TOSS COMPETITION

Who will walk away the top-tosser? Enter our Beer Garden to see the best (and wurst) displays of sausage-y sportsmanship in all of New Jersey. (Brat toss will start at 6:45 so be there or be square).

STEIN HOLDING CONTEST

Put those beer muscles to the test and don't spill a drop! The annual stein-hold contest will pit the fiercest competitors against one another with full 24oz steins held as long as you can. Not for lightweights.

KEG RACE

Roll on over to our Keg Rolling Race. Whoever crossed the finish line first while rolling the keg wins. Our Keg Race is done bracket style. See if you've got the skills!

PRETZEL TOSS COMPETITION

Twist and Toss! Toss your favorite German treat ring toss style. Land the pretzels on the rings and score points- highest points wins!

MR. & MRS. OKTOBERFEST CONTEST

Dress up in your best dirndl or lederhosen to be chosen as Mr. or Mrs. Oktoberfest. We'll choose the winner by popular applause.

SELFIE COMPETITION

May the best mug win! Gather your friends and post a group-shot using our selfie station. Use the hashtags: #RHOktoberfest and #Hippospotting in your story- make sure to tag us in order to be entered for a chance to win a prize.
