Oktoberfest

Reflextions Riverhead hosted the annual Oktoberfest Saturday in Grangebel Park, with traditional German food and music, local craft beers and an illuminated art display.

This family-friendly event offers live entertainment, contests, German-style cuisine and a fantastic illuminated art show.

The second annual Oktoberfest event in Grangebel Park has been canceled due to potential inclement weather this weekend, but indoor celebrations will still be held on location at participating local breweries.

Riverhead's first Oktoberfest, organized by the East End Tourism Alliance and the Business Improvement District, will feature local beer and wine tastings, some traditional Oktoberfest foods, live music and contests. At dusk, the Reflextions: Art in the Park exhibit in Grangebel Park will be lit up, and will feature live music from the band Who Are Those Guys, until 10 p.m.

Downtown restaurants, bars and breweries will provide food and drink specials and live music for the event, which is scheduled for Sunday, October 18.
