I'm also having a hard time coming up with a list. I know that there are many Oktoberfest celebrations throughout the state but you probably will need to research each independently. Check Cape May, Smithville, Neptune, Warren, and Vernon.

There's one in Smithville at the ole Smithville Historic shops every year! Best way to get there is to take the GSP & get off at exit 48. The end of the shops are located on the corner of Moss Mill Rd. & Rt 9. Make a right onto Moss Mill Rd. and the shops are immediately on your right!

Although, I am not sure exactly when it is though...I will keep you all posted.

Oktoberfest at Forest Lodge this past Saturday (October 9th) - was AMAZING to say the least. The food, beer & entertainment was outstanding. Many outside covered pavilions so weather wasn't an issue. Tons of stuff for the kids to do including pony rides! There was even a vendor fair with a wide range of items. Can't wait until next year's Oktoberfest!

I was at Old Bay yesterday in New Brunswick, they had the buffet table set up, with some live music. Pretty neat, jam packed though we got a table.

Stuff Yer Face is supposed to have something tomorrow I think. May hit that up after work.

shouldn't a true Oktoberfest be in September or no later than 10/3 or so?
