Annual Oktoberfest at Forest Lodge

Forest Lodge, a catering property in Warren that bills itself as New Jersey's largest outdoor venue, turns its grounds over to a one-day Oktoberfest each October. A German band and a DJ share the entertainment while the kitchen serves German entrees alongside barbecue and desserts, and a full bar pours beer, wine and cocktails. More than twenty local vendors set up shop, and rides and games keep younger guests busy. Parking is free and admission is sold as a day ticket.
