Oktoberfest is a fun-filled, family event that takes place in early October in the West Village of Ridgewood. This 2 day event is enjoyed by both children and parents alike. The main attraction is a tractor-drawn hayride that takes its passengers for a ride up to The Heights which includes a spectacular view of NYC. Pumpkin painting, a scarecrow making contest, a tent of vendors, toss games, sidewalk chalking, ice cream, and a full weekend of music round out this event.
