'Ein Prosit': Oktoberfest Beer Garden Back On Tap For 2025 At Cross County

YONKERS, NY — You can enjoy fall without celebrating Oktoberfest, but it certainly doesn't hurt. Come for the live music, dancing, games and German-inspired food, and stay for the local beers.

The Cross County Center announced that it will once again be hosting a Beer Garden for Oktoberfest this weekend, with live music, dancing, food, drinks (beer, wine, cider, cocktails), and fun for all ages on both Saturday and Sunday.

The Beer Garden will be located on The Green, in the center of the mall, and will be open 1 p.m. - 7 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. on Sunday.

There will be no entrance fee. Families are welcome but guests must be 21+ with a wristband to drink alcoholic beverages. Guests will not be permitted to take beer outside of the beer garden.

Local beers from the Yonkers Brewing Company, grilled brats, pretzels with mustard, and more will be available for purchase.

Guests are invited to come dressed in their best "lederhosen and dirndl dresses" for a true Oktoberfest experience.

The FDR Drive Band will be performing live on Saturday, from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., with a DJ from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. A DJ will be back on Sunday, from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
