The White Plains BID will celebrate the return of White Plains OktoberFest on Oct. 8. So, throw on your Lederhosen and dirndls and join thousands of residents and visitors in the heart of Westchester County. A decade in the making, the popular festival will be located outdoors on Mamaroneck Avenue between East Post Road and Maple Avenue in a tented venue with a large performance stage.
Food will be available from Walter’s Hot Dogs and Sundance Kitchen with seasonal bites such as schnitzel, bratwurst and potato salad. For attendees 21 years of age and over, German beers will be available, including Paulaner, Spaten, Stella, Sam Adams, Captain Lawrence, White Claw and White Plains’ own brewery, Wolf & Warrior. Participating establishments include Brazen Fox, Cantina, Freebird Kitchen and Bar, Hudson Grille, Lazy Boy Saloon, Lilly’s, Ron Blacks Beer Hall and Sundance Kitchen.
Live music, a DJ playing a mix of American and German hits, German-themed fun and games, including, but not limited to a Stein-holding and alpine horn-blowing contest, sausage toss and a German spelling will be part of the mix.
Limited advance tickets for wristbands are available for $11. Wristbands will also be available day-of the event for $15 at the entrances on East Post Road and Maple Avenue, space permitting. Purchase of outside beer will be cash only. Proof of age is required for all to obtain a wristband for the outside purchase of beer and seltzer.
