Oktoberfest Weekend Returns To Chester This Fall

CHESTER, NJ — Celebrate the start of fall with friends at the Chester Lions Club's Oktoberfest Weekend and Car Show.

The anticipated community event will take place on Sept. 24 from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sept. 25 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. "The Chester Lions are thrilled to be heading back to Chubb Park for a full weekend of family fun," officials said.

Held at Chubb Park, 290 W Main Street in Chester, this fun-filled day will feature live music, quality beer, dancing and good food.

Residents of all ages are welcome to attend Oktoberfest, and families are encouraged to do so. Parents can shop and drink while their children participate in the various activities, rides, games, and crafts that will be available.

The food tent will serve authentic German foods such as bratwurst, German potato salad, sauerkraut, smoked pork chops, apple strudel, delectable beehive cake, and authentic plum cake, among other things.

Hod dogs, ice cream, and other refreshments are also available on-site. Outside food and beverages are not permitted.

Live music will be provided by Die Spitzbaum of New York throughout the weekend, according to officials.

Oktoberfest Weekend is the Chester Lions Club's largest annual fundraiser.

In previous years, the net proceeds of the event have been donated to organizations such as Soldiers Angels, which supports our service men and women, and the Lions Eye Research Foundation, as well as local police, fire and rescue organizations.

Admission to the event is $7, with children under the age of 12 admitted free.
