HACKENSACKtoberfest

Downtown Hackensack's business alliance has run this street-level Oktoberfest for seven years, taking over the heart of the district for a Saturday afternoon and evening. Craft brewers pour in a 21-and-over biergarten while food trucks, DJs and live bands work the surrounding blocks and local artisans set up shop. Admission is free, which makes it one of the more accessible fall festivals in Bergen County.
