Attention !!! Oktoberfest is canceled !!! Due to facts that have been unknown and hidden from us at the time we signed the contract with the Greenpoint Monitor Museum, it became clear that the site is unfit for obtaining a TPA (temporary public assembly) from NYC/DOB, which is crucial to stage our event.
We have tried to find a solution to move the event to an alternative location in Bushwick but the transformation was logistically impossible to do in time to meet our Oktoberfest dates.
We will of course issue a full refund to all ticket buyers and really hope for all of your understanding. Thank you so much for your interest and support! We guarantee you that we won't give up on our plans to stage our Oktoberfest in the future.
PROST! Your Zum Schneider family
WELCOME BACK to our annual OKTOBERFEST TENT.
Except for the location nothing has changed. We still have a fully decked out tent that seats about 750 people with a stage and 3 different seating areas/categories. General seating/reserved seating/VIP. You will find short descriptions of these categories below and on the ticketing platform. Additionally, we will have a biergarten covered by big umbrellas for approximately 200 people right at the water front. For added fun we’ll set up the game booth and photo booth as always.
The original Bavarian Oktoberfest Bier will be served in 1 liter Steins just like at the Munich Oktoberfest. Food items include Giant Pretzels, Obazda cheese spread and the traditional 1/2 roast chicken and pork shank/Haxn among other dishes. (Vegetarian options will be available. Please see menu below)
For the proper atmosphere you’ll be led by the notorious Mösl Franzi and the JaJaJas to clap, sing and dance until no one sits still. In the intermissions the Schierlachtaler Schuhplattler dancers will show you how you slap your butt in Lederhosen in traditional Bavarian style.
