Description

Many moons ago, legend has it, Oktober the Oktopus was ripped from rocks on the distant shores of Germany, caught by a current, and pulled deep into the darkest oceans. His eight legs sprawling this way and that, he finally ran aground, washing up on Mariner’s Pier — lederhosen and all.

Folks of the Wildwoods, no strangers to the unusual, welcomed Oktober das Oktopas with open arms. He introduced them to all the joys of the Oktoberfest, that ancient German tradition of merriment, roller coasters, tilt-a-whirls, pretzels and bratwurst.

Each year Morey's Piers' Oktoberfest grows bigger and better. Guests can enjoy four consecutive weekends of German-themed revelry, entertainment, live music, kids "Rootbier Garten" activity area, and of course, Bier on the Pier.

Dates in 2022 are Fridays - Sundays, Sept. 16 - Oct. 9.

On Sept. 16 at 5:30 pm, the festivities kick off with a ceremonial keg tapping of HaufBrau Original beer and the Morey family clad in lederhosen on the Coca-Cola stage at Mariner's Pier near the Giant Wheel.
A full lineup of bands will rock the Coca-Cola stage during the Oktoberfest weekends. Musical performances are scheduled for Fridays from 6:30 - 10:30 pm; Saturdays from 1 - 5 pm, then again from 6:30 -10:30 pm; and Sundays from 12:30 -4:30 pm.
Wilhelm's Bier Garten, the home of Oktoberfest, serves ice-cold German draft beer along with local and domestic imports and wine. In addition, visitors can feast on German fare aplenty, including giant Bavarian pretzels, roasted chicken, bratwurst, knockwurst on a pretzel roll and more.
Jumbo's Grub & Pub will offer a festive selection of Bavarian pretzels, bratwurst, German potato salad, schnitzel, and more. In addition, thirsty guests can sip on a wide selection of beers on tap and seasonal cocktails. To satisfy a sweet tooth, stands on Mariner's Pier will have Oktoberfest favorites, including candied and caramel apples and pumpkin funnel cake.
A kid's zone with a "Rootbier Garten" will be set up near the Wave Swinger, and kids can enjoy a variety of activities, including a pumpkin decorating station.
