FOOD TRUCKS
Get ready for HAPA, Magee’s Curbside, PitoSofrito, Bang Burger, Crazy Taco Mex, Nosh Hound, Dough Girls, and M.O.C. Eatery! We've asked each truck to put an Octoberfest spin on a menu item so be on the lookout for some original eats with a German kick...

We'll have both cans (it is CanToberfest, afterall) and draft available. Beer tickets will be available for $5 / ticket. Beer will be available for purchase from 6PM - 9:30PM (the event will end at 10PM). 100% of beer sales will be donated to the Mill River Park Collaborative.
TUNES
We'll have 'Melina & The Oompahs playing authentic German music! 'Melina & the Oompahs' put on a high energy Oktoberfest show with music from traditional German Oompah to hits from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's through now. Melina grew up in Germany and resides in NYC. She has put together a program which will take you on a musical ride based on the Original Oktoberfest in Munich/Germany where she has performed.
