This year's Annual Oktoberfest Wine, Beer and Food Festival will be held at Wedgwood Country Club 200 Hurffville Road Turnersville, NJ 08012. 100-percent of the event's ticket sales will be donated to the American Red Cross, Gloucester County, New Jersey Chapter.
The festival begins sharp at 7:00 p.m. with Oom-pah music, women dressed in dirndls, men in Lederhosen, dancing, dining and drink sampling. Prizes will be awarded for the Top 10 Best Dressed Couples. This event is all about the cuisine, drink and culture...Its a taste, not a tie-one-on night out.
Monster Beverage's Annual Oktoberfest event will feature bodacious Bavarian foods served by area restaurants as well as international wines, and German-inspired bottled and tapped-keg beers from regional distributors.
There will be an Artisan Bavarian Pretzel Making Match open to festival goers...
