Raise your steins and say "Prost!" at The Front Yard's authentic Oktoberfest celebration. The Ellis Island Casino's popular restaurant transforms into a Bavarian beer garden with traditional German atmosphere and festivities. Live music fills the air while you sample from a special Oktoberfest menu paired with beer specials highlighting Ellis Island's award-winning brewery offerings.

Feel the competitive spirit with two fun contests that bring out the Oktoberfest tradition. Test your strength in the Steinholding Contest, where participants see who can hold their beer stein at arm's length the longest. Or show off your appetite in the Pretzel Eating Contest, challenging you to devour the most pretzels in just two minutes. Both contests offer cash prizes for the winners, adding some friendly competition to this cultural celebration.
